Set upLink to “Set up”

Under Settings → Integrations → “Metadata providers” you turn each provider on with “Active”; all are off by default.

MusicBrainz, Apple iTunes
Public text search, no API key.
AcoustID
Recognition by audio fingerprint and duration, with your own API key (“Store key securely”).
SonoVault
Text search with a personal API key; provides suggestions for genre, subgenre, album, label and year, no audio features or covers.

With “Source priority” you set the order, and per field also a preferred source. “Save settings” applies it.
