Totally.  If making the server ignore case is really going to ruffle that
many peoples' way of doing things then it should just be an option.  I read
all these emails and what I still don't understand is why someone would even
WANT it the way it is now.  Seriously, where does the case-sensitivity
become an advantage?

Why would anyone want "PUNK" and "Punk" and "PUnk" to sort differently?
Please tell me because I'm sincerely curious.

This point fails to appreciate that the few hours invested to add the
feature to the product (or, what I'd say... fixing a flaw in the design)
will mean COUNTLESS hours saved by all of us meticulously "fixing" our tags.
I went through my library of 8000 songs and it took an hour to fix all the
tags.  What a pain.  And I didn't catch them all.  Had to clear the
cache/rescan.  Multiply that by all the users and this issue seems so
obvious to me.  But... whatever, I didn't mean to start WWIII.



Thanks,
Phillip
