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.

Thanks,
Phillip
