Hi Syed, Welcome to Mixxx.
The trust worthy topic of the metadata source is quite important. I am only in doubt if Mixxx can decide its on its own from a couple of online services, but maybe we can find magic algorithm for that. The problem with youtube and wikipedia is that they are not a music database nor offering a query API for this. In YouTube you fro example not able to distinguish title from artist. From this point of view MusicBrainz should be more trust worthy. How will Mixxx do the queries to the online resources?
