Find Tags & Album Art
You can find tags & album art by right clicking tracks ➡ Track tools ➡ Find tags & album art
With the Tag & Image Finder you can let Lexicon scan your tracks to find missing information. Lexicon will update the tags of your tracks to match the best release found.
Currently supports the following tags:
- Genre
- Year
- Label
- Album
- Album art image
- Energy
- Danceability
- Popularity
- Happiness
The album art image is downloaded and added to your music files.
Accuracy
Lexicon does its best to find the correct matching track but has to work with your existing artist and title tags. If these are not clean then it will be harder to find the correct, or any, match. You can use Smart Fixes clean your tags.
Original release
If you enable this option, Lexicon will strip away any remix text from your track titles and search for the original version.
Album art
To display your album art, you may need to reload tags in the DJ app you use.
For Engine DJ: You need to use Re-import track information. This reloads your album art but also all ID3 tags from your files. If you are getting old ID3 tags this way, you need to re-run the Sync from Lexicon to Engine DJ. After that, Engine DJ will still have the new album art and also your tags from your Lexicon database.
Data sources
Lexicon searches these databases, in this order:
Not every database holds the same information. This table describes which source has which tag that Lexicon can use:
| Spotify | Beatport | MusicBrainz | Discogs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Genre | ✔ | ✔ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Year | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Label | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Album | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Album Art | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ | ✔ |
| Energy | ✔ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Danceability | ✔ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Popularity | ✔ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Happiness | ✔ | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
Data source priority
Beatport has the highest priority because it has the most detailed genre information. Spotify genres are more generic. If there are no results on the first source, Lexicon will move on to the second source and so on.
The order of the sources is as follows:
- Beatport
- Spotify
- MusicBrainz
- Discogs
Best practice
Because Beatport is higher in the priority list, anything found on Beatport will return a result and won't search the next sources. This means you need to consider if you want Beatport enabled for your searches, as Beatport is primarily used for EDM music. If your tracks are non-EDM (rock, pop, disco, etc) then it is better to disable Beatport because you may get unwanted results like remixes of your tracks.
For older tracks that may be re-released (either as remix on Beatport or remaster/compilation on the other platforms), you can enable the above mentioned Original release option to ensure you will get the oldest known information (such as Year) for those tracks.
