Setup: Providers

You can choose to enable an external metadata provider using the providers object in the settings.json file. For example:

// In settings.json
{
  //... Other properties
  "providers": {
    "provider1": {}, // Provider 1 is enabled
    // 'provider 2' was not specified, it is therefore disabled
    "provider3": {
      // Provider 3 is enabled
      "apiKey": "" // Other property of provider 3
    }
  }
}

If the provider object does not contain a provider's settings, this provider will be disabled, and no call to its service will be done.

Refer to this table to see the available providers and their configuration.

Warning: Meelo heavily relies on Wikidata to optimize the metadata fetching. It is used if, and only if the MusicBrainz Provider is enabled. It is not possible to use one without the other.

Note: If MusicBrainz is enabled, we might make requests to AcoustID's API to match songs using audio fingerprints (No data will be submitted).
