I don't like this service, it sometimes displays fake titles, and when i try to write the ag i see that is correct, so it show a fake name in the playlist, making hard to identify tracks... how can i disable this service or correct my songs? here you can see an example (this is a live playlist so maybe sometimes it will show real names and sometimes not...) http://sig.iamntz.com/1502.png

disable it in the plugin prefs "ctrl+b - libraries"
are you playing CDs or files?
do you use the media library?

You need to disable MusicID. What's probably happening is that songs that are added to your playlist are automatically getting added to the Media Library (this is an option in preferences). When they're added to the Media Library, MusicID will analyze the songs and change their fields such as artist, album, etc. It is not writing these values to the tags (unless you specifically enable that option), but QMP will use the new values in the Media Library and playlist.

So basically, you should disable MusicID. You can then right click on (All) in the media library and have it load all the fields from tags to replace the Gracenote values with values from the file tags. Or you can just remove all the tracks from the ML, it's your call.

To disable MusicID, open the Media Library and click the MusicID button and disable it from the menu that pops up.

An alternative to disabling MusicID altogether is setting it to only update fields that are otherwise blank in your file's tags. Essentially, you're treating the file's existing tags as authoritative, while still being able to get additional information from Gracenote.

thanks! the problem is now fixed! anyway... i can't correct my song titles or disable this service just for some songs?
also... when i disables musicid i can write the tags with this service or that option will be disabled too?
