One of my favourite Lexicon feature is track matcher. Sometimes the track is not prepared in a way that makes it easy to match.
For example if artist field in Spotify has two Artists (Artist A, Artist B) but in Lexicon the track is (Artist B, Artist A). Track matcher does not consider the track as the same
Another example is that if the title contains words like (Intro), Lexicon does not match it.
Is there a recommended best practice to get the optimal result?
I have also seen that Crate Hackers give you all the possible occurrence and you can pick the right track. Kinda like what Lexicon does with Duplicates. Maybe that might be nice for Track Match.
You can turning off Strict search to get more results.
Lexicon already ignores a lot of things like “Intro” etc in track titles but probably not everything. I don’t think it handles multiple artists in any order like your example.
Do you have examples for me that Lexicon doesn’t find but you think it should find? That will help me improve the track matcher. I need both the input and the expected result, something like:
Daft Punk - Get Lucky (Intro) → Daft Punk - Get Lucky
Let me run some tests with some playlists I have on Spotify and share them.
Here’s a quick example. Calm down by Rema and Selena was not matched because the track title had (with Selena Gomez). I think this one should not be matched but I will see if I have a better example.
A feature request could be to still show the track as a lower confidence option and then the user can choose to select the track or not.
Thanks, I can probably improve that.
If you have more different examples, let me know. Every bit helps
Fantastic. I will just use this thread as comms channel for that.
