Artist case sensitivity

[zehess]

Hi,
here comes a question concerning case sensitivity on artist name/tags. I just found that e.g.
"Art of Noise, The" and
"Art Of Noise, The"
are displayed as two different artists.

Is there a way that minimserver ignores case sensitivity in artist-names (to prevent changing the artis name tag manually in the music file)?

Thanks
C.S.

There isn't any setting to make MinimServer ignore case differences in tag values. This is because there is no way for MinimServer to know which value is correct and which value is incorrect.

you're right, of cause You can only perform an case-insensitiv comparision of duplicates and then take e.g the first that's found or the most or whatever... but this would probably slow the system too much.
How about using wildcard in global "tag update" like:
@ARTIST=*of* (word search case-insensitive)
=ARTIST=*Of*
@ARTIST=*in*
=ARTIST=*in*
@ARTIST=*and*
=ARTIST=*&*
...
Or maybe a global tag update that starts every word/or only every first word with a capital letter...

But while writing this, it seems to me quite crazy, so I guess I will rename the few concerned tags manually, never mind!
