; [MeasureTitle] reports the following values when Title Extraction is disabled / enabled:
; TitleExtraction=0 -> MANON - MANON / Fake Friends (Music Video)
; TitleExtraction=1 -> MANON - Fake Friends

Known limitations:

When a song is uploaded on a channel that doesn't have the same name as the artist, title extraction fails. eg. Starlight - Laura Les uploaded on cow koi. You could try to guess which part, Starlight or Laura Les is the artist and which the title. But doing that has a 50% of being wrong and it would inevitably mess up titles that actually contain -

Also, a prior version of Title Extraction used to crash when used on a NowPlaying measure. It looks like it doesn't crash anymore. But be aware that it did do that. And you shouldn't need to use this with local music collections anyway. Your local files shouldn't contain the duplicate information that Title Extraction removes in the first place.
