I like the „Match“ option when loading tracks.  
However, I noticed that sometimes the matches are found at Apple Music streaming and sometimes the matches are detected at local music.  
I want see match proposals from my local music sources only (no streaming matches). How can I set this up?

Thanks. Matches are indeed a nice feature. But could have worked even much better.

Please read this suggestion with a video about how it works and vote for to suggestion to improve:

> I find the match list generated for the active track to be helpful, but the breadth of its source is too wide. I have playlists for different and non-overlapping use cases: Alternative club music, Rave/Techno, 80s retro, Country, Wedding music, etc. There is no way to limit the match list to pull from a specified playlist, and thus it presents a list of matches from the entire collection. This issue is the same if the match list is specified to come from my ‘Music’ source - playlists within are…

Thank you, but coming back to my question: Can I limit match results to my local music only?

Thanks, @Slak_Jaw . But then I ask myself why sometimes local music matches are listed and sometimes (99% useless) matching tracks out of Apple Music are listed. Isn’t that a bug then??
