It's not a question of what takes preference, it's a true either-or depending on your settings.
You have two options: You can let Calibre read metadata from file name, get proper author & title info, and have to manually input the tags you want and get Calibre to read the cover from the file. The second option you have is reading metadata from file content, which would get your tags and cover the way you want them, and then edit or look up, depending on how messed up your author/title fields are, the rest of the metadata. To do this, you should
use the 0.8 code base, as it allows you to select which metadata fields to download, so you can exclude tags from being downloaded.
