**What is the feature or ability you would like to have?**  
A setting/checkbox to let lexicon look at the title field only for track matching/discover new tracks etc.

**How will this feature help you and others?**  
I use ‘Artist - Title (Mix)’ In the title field on all my tracks, I don’t have the artist seperated in the artist field. I must not be the only one. But this makes it so these functions like discover new tracks dont work, but I would really like to use them.

**Is this feature available in an existing product? If so, what product?**  
Not sure

**Does a workaround currently exist?**  
Not a usefull one I think.  
Of course for a single track I could change the fields manually, use discover more tracks and change it back.  
I could do the same for bulk with recipies. But the artist field is used for something else so I would move that to a temporary place first so I wont lose data. Really this would not be workable.

Use the Extract Artist smartfix before running the track matcher. Having all data in title is not a good organization so I can’t adjust Lexicon for that

I have my reasons for it.  
But fair enough, I understand it’s not how most people do it.

Is it just the artist and title metadata that is used for this though, or anything else?

For discovery and track matcher, yes
