17**IMPORTANT NOTE**
18The dust has settled from the 2.0 release, cool that we got so many new users excited!
19Unfortunately this means that our calls to the metadata services are also increasing, despite the heavy throttling and caching we have in place. Apparently the amount of calls to MusicBrainz is now hurting their services, most likely a lot of new users onboarding into MA.
20
21This is a free project and unlike the big players like Plex, Emby and Roon etc. I can not pay large fees for metadata so we're bound to the limits of free (or almost free api calls). For now I'm just going to increase the throttle intervals even more and skip a few additional calls. This will mean that for folks with missing local metadata, this will not be auto pulled in anymore. It will also mean that the initial scan will slow down even more. Sorry, it is what it is.
22
23I'm investigating options like implementing some global Redis cache or whatever that is still affordable for me.
24
25So, this update of MA brings actually a small change to the way how metadata is retrieved from the online providers.
26This change impacts folks with local files only. If you have badly tagged files or no images stored locally you will see empty artist images and the only way to retrieve those is by opening each artist one by one (I'm shutting down the background scanner to save api calls) OR by just making sure your structrure of music files is in order with correct tags and images. If the info is already there, no calls need to be done to a metadata provider. Its as simple as that.
