A couple of points raised upstream:
"I think this isn't a bug because there are unique artists with no difference
except capitalization, for example HiM
(http://musicbrainz.org/showartist.html?artistid=119294) and HIM
(http://musicbrainz.org/showartist.html?artistid=1881)"
"How about just fixing your tags? Multiple entries are just Rhythmbox' way of
showing you that you're being messy."
We shouldn't be trying to update the user's tags based on their case -
they may want them that way. No other music manager that I'm aware of
(I've used Rhythmbox, Banshee, iTunes, Zune and Windows Media Player) do
that because it's contrary to what the user expects to happen when they
import their library. Rhythmbox is just a manager - its sole job is to
interpret the existing tags, not what it thinks the user wants them to
be.

Rhythmbox has case-sensitivity

Bug description:
Bug: Rhythmbox has case-sensitivity. Needs to be removed.
Description: I have 100 music files of "Abba", "ABBA" and "abba", Rhythmbox
will
have 3 separate entries. Makes many people's music collections in rhythmbox
rather messy.
Expected behaviour: No case-sesntivity. All 3 artists must be grouped into
one,
as *never* is an artist differentiated by case.
I understand that there are other things that can be done, like "&=and" and
"_=space" etc, but those are obviously more complex and not as widespread as
different case in people's music collections. So I just make this bug for
case-sensitivity.
