[Bug 1533930] Re: Duplicate artist in artist view

 

Ignoring capitalization seems reasonable to me. This however should be
implemented by mediascanner2 and do not require any client-side logic.

Bug description:
  With the song collection in the attached archive, I see duplicate
  artist art. In the music scope, A-HA and 30 Seconds to Mars are shown
  twice.

  I turns out that this is happening because of tagging errors. There
  are both "30 Seconds to Mars" and "30 Seconds To Mars" tags present,
  as well as "A-HA" and "A-Ha".

  Brief experimentation with iTunes shows that iTunes is a little bit
  more clever than we are here, in that it collapses artists that differ
  only in capitalization into a single artist.

  Should we be doing the same thing?
