Prioritize Chroma?

[hamaryns]

Hi, I seem to have seen an example of a config file once where someone had a setting to change the priority with which beets uses information for audiotagging. I want Chroma to have higher priority than metadata. Can anyone point me to the right setting?
TIA, H.

It sounds like you're looking for match.distance_weights.track_id:

beets/beets/config_default.yaml

Line 209 in fa10dcf

track_id: 5.0

This sets how important the track ID is when sorting matches (it's worth noting track ID is provided both by Chroma and also the embedded MBID tag in files - there's no way to disable this at the moment).

I found this configuration on the forums which looks like it's attempting to prioritize Chroma, not sure if it's the one you're thinking of: https://discourse.beets.io/t/chroma-match-information-is-dropped-not-available-for-musicbrainz/1059/20?u=jackwilsdon
