Find Tags & Album Art

You can find tags & album art by right clicking tracks ➡ Track tools ➡ Find tags & album art

With the Find Tag & Album Art utility 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 to clean your tags.

Data source

Lexicon uses SonoVault for most information and Spotify for the Energy, Danceability, Popularity and Happiness.

Lexicon can also analyze your tracks for Energy, which is a different analyzer than what Spotify uses so will give different results. Which to use is up to your preference.

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.

Rekordbox WAV files: keep in mind that Rekordbox does not support album art on WAV files so even reloading tags in Rekordbox will not work for it.

Genre & Custom Tags

If you enable Genre, you can also let Lexicon write Custom Tags with main genre and subgenre to your tracks.

The genre field is always only filled with the main genre (e.g. House, Rock, Pop). Subgenres go to Custom Tags either accompanied by their main genre, only their first subgenre or something else depending on what option you choose there.

You can let Lexicon automatically add genre custom tags by enabling the settings there. This can also be toggled in the global Lexicon settings.

Best practice

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.
