YouTube Music tracks with subtitles are being edited without my consent.

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Any track with an artist in the title (feat. XYZ) is being tracked as if the section in parenthesis doesn't exist. This has clearly been done on purpose because if the track title is Abc (xyz Remix) that will track perfectly fine.

How to reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Scrobble any track with (feat. ) in the track title and it will not show up unless you edit each song.

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

I expect the extension to take the song title and track it. If I want it to be different to how it appears I will edit it. Don't make automatic edits on my behalf.

Thank you for reporting!

For clarification:

There is no automatic edit being applied from our side and it has not been done on purpose. In response to youtube music connector breaking quite often, we moved to using mediasession api for youtube music.

It seems that youtube music itself is stripping the featured artist out of the track tag.

We will probably have to revert to DOM for title then, even though it's less reliable.

Seeing a possibly related issue where the album title is being changed from the name of the album being played in YouTube Music.

Example: Young MC "Principal's Office" from the album Stone Cold Rhymin' is scrobbling as being on The Music Machine!, which seems to be the most recent "album" on which it appears: https://www.last.fm/music/Young+M.C./_/Principal%27s+Office/+albums
Same thing happens for "I Come Off" which scrobbles as being on The Best of Young MC instead of Stone Cold Rhymin': https://www.last.fm/music/Young+M.C./_/I+Come+Off/+albums

EDIT: This incorrect album selection seems to be occurring due to the "album guessing" setting. However, it does indicate that the album title isn't being captured by the extension despite being part of the metadata associated with the track in YouTube Music. With "album guessing" disabled, no album is shown with the track in the extension.

(Unfortunately, I've been unable to build this project since it moved to 3.0, or I would try to help fix the issue myself.)
