musicbrainz metadata source is used when the musicbrainz plugin is not activated
The musicbrainz metadata source is used even when the musicbrainz plugin is not activated.
Problem
Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:
beet -vv import /music/downloads/
Led to this problem: musicbrainz results are present. I didn't copy the full log because it is very long, but I can add parts if needed.

Disabling the chroma plugin fixed this. I guess I messed up when testing without plugins. Sorry about that !
This should have been fixed in 2.5.1 with #6093 (#6100). Lets investigate this quickly before we close it.
I can reproduce this! Seems like we missed something with #6100. While musicbrainz does not show up in the plugin list it is still used for lookup and manually triggered searches if chroma is enabled.
Interestingly all of this seems like expected behavior as the lookup (via acoustid fingerprinting) only returns a musicbrainz id. We could make it a bit clearer in the docs, or as an improvement get more potential ids from the musicbrainz response and only further process the enabled sources.
file->id->acoustid->musicbrainz(-> extract other ids)->other provider
Might be an interesting small enhancement for the chroma plugin. I will mark this as an good first issue, while maybe not the simplest task this should allow a newcomer to explore the codebase a bit (especially metadata plugins).
