Standard use of the application should not produce any network activity unless required by user action or settings, with the exception of UI elements Artist info panel and Artist list panel which have automatic network functions, see below.
User data stored locally may be sent out as required such as in the following cases:
- Enabling the 'Artist Info' UI panel sends the actively playing artist name to last.fm, fanart.tv and optionally Discogs
- Enabling the 'Artist list panel' sends any/all artist names in current playlist to last.fm, fanart.tv and optionally Discogs
- Enabling Last.fm scrobbling and/or ListenBrainz sends metadata (track title, artist, album) of the currently playing track to respective websites.
- Activating
Quck-Fetch Cover Art
sends track metadata (Track title, artist, MBID's) to MusicBrainz and fanart.tv - Selecting 'Search Lyrics' sends track metadata (Track title, artist) to any enabled source websites.
Note that in using Apiseeds, since the default key is from my (Taiko2k's) account, it may be possible for me to see your IP and what you searched, as the website displays information about last access.
- Activating 'Start Broadcast' listens and accepts network connections to stream audio.
- Activating metadata page starts a web server and listens and accepts network connections to serve metadata and image files in folder of the broadcasting track.
Remember that 3rd party websites may log usage. (When using features that use 3rd party services)
