Dux Player only contacts the servers you add, except for these features, each of which can be turned off in Settings:
- Artist information: artist names are sent to MusicBrainz, Wikidata and Wikipedia, and to fanart.tv and Last.fm once you add your own API key. Biographies from Wikipedia are available under CC BY-SA 4.0.
- Lyrics: track title, artist, album and duration are sent to the enabled lyrics providers.
- Scrobbling: played tracks are sent to ListenBrainz or Last.fm when you connect an account. Last.fm needs your own API account.
