Feature request: option to make similar artists case insensitive #243

Open MountainX opened 2 years ago

MountainX commented 2 years ago

I have noticed an inconsistency in casing of artist names on Last.fm, particularly with articles such as "and" "the" "of" "in" etc. This affects the GMB contextual plugin that shows local songs for similar artists. GMB will show zero local songs for an artist if I have that artist but the casing is slightly mismatched.

I would like the option to ignore casing for these matches.

As a side note, I have seen a few examples where if I rename the artist to match that casing, the similar artist list for another artist will include the first one with different casing -- the inconsistency.
