slimserver obviously has to track each file uniquely... for all I care it can know the case of the tags. But from a purely practicaly perspective this is what I often do that doesn't work as I think it should: --browse by artist.... find an artist... dig into their albums... loop through a few times to find the album I want is listed under the same artist case. --browse by genre... same issue. I can't think of why anyone likes the fact browse by artist/genre is case sensitive. The more I think about it the more I KNOW I'm right. Again, maybe there's some reason I just can't think of but no one has stated it yet.
