Such an option might fix counts (ie library statistics reporting),
assuming no counterexamples exist, but when it comes to actual Browse
and Search results, a proper implementation requires some interactive
mechanism to tell Slimserver which of the detected variants is the
correct one to display.  I can think of some non-interactive
compromises, like defaulting to all caps, but these are all suboptimal.
 The bottom line is that you can't just "ignore" the case, but rather
you want to justify or standardize case for output.

While you wait, consider running a tag editing tool that will help fix
your tags.  I've seen some that claim to do case fixing, like
http://www.wma-mp3.com/mp3_tag_studio.html but never tried them.  Even
if your library is large and haphazardly tagged, pecking away at it may
prove worthwhile.
