Albums and Artists with different capitalization #1095

Closed kylecook80 closed 9 years ago

kylecook80 commented 9 years ago

The capitalization when using the auto-tagger seems inconsistent. For example, I have a band called "Haste The Day" that, when auto-tagged, only some of the music is tagged "Haste The Day" while others are tagged "Haste the Day" (lowercase t). This splits the artist into separate directories. This same occurs with albums as well.

Not sure what it would take to fix this type of issue.

It sounds like this is either a MusicBrainz data issue, in which case the solution is to fix it there, or a case of mixing auto-tagged and non--auto-tagged music, in which case you can manually modify the latter.

If you don't think either of these is the case, can you provide instructions for reproducing this?

The case must be the latter. I am not sure as to how that happened, but it must have been messed up metadata that confused the autotagger. Thanks for the suggestions.
