How reliable is the song-link match?

Match quality depends on the metadata available for the source track and whether the same recording exists on Spotify. Check the returned artist and track title before publishing the link, especially when a song has live, remastered, clean, explicit, or alternate versions. If Musicfetch cannot find a suitable Spotify result, the response will not contain a destination-service link.
