Ignore "featuring" tracks when downloading Artist

[medallyon]

Requested Feature

I've downloaded all tracks from a specific artist using https://open.spotify.com/artist/4cUkGQyhLFqKHBtL58HYVp. This downloaded all of their original songs as intended, but also all tracks that this artist has featured in where this artist is not the main artist as well as remixes. How do I ignore tracks where an artist is not the main artist?

SpotDL version: 4.2.10
OS: Windows 10 Pro 22H2

Possible implementation

Downloads only tracks where the specified artist is the only artist or the first artist in the list:
spotdl download https://open.spotify.com/artist/4cUkGQyhLFqKHBtL58HYVp --only-main-artist

a different approach which may be more versatile but may not get the job done accurately (perhaps better for other use cases):

Downloads only tracks that don't match the title filter regex (e.g. titles containing the word "feat"):
spotdl download https://open.spotify.com/artist/4cUkGQyhLFqKHBtL58HYVp --title-filter-out "feat(?:ure|uring|\.)"

Downloads only tracks that do match the title filter (e.g. titles containing the word "blue"):
spotdl download https://open.spotify.com/artist/4cUkGQyhLFqKHBtL58HYVp --title-filterblue
