In some situations, the Artist was not taken into account to search the corresponding song in iTunes or Music.

For COVER, BACKING TRACK, PRACTICE and RECORDING special genres, the search for corresponding songs based on Title has been refined (more restrictive and better results).

For all genres, Titles with exactly the same length (found in iTunes or Music) are now selected with a highest priority.
