Summary0011516: Handling of upper/lower case isn't consistent with MMW
DescriptionHandling of capitalization is inconsistent between MMA/MMW:

1) In MMW, if the user edits the case of metadata, then the metada is modified, but the category to which it belongs remains unchanged (e.g. if for a single track Rock is changed to RocK, then the track still remains within Genre=Rock).

In contrast, if MMA has multiple tracks, some categorized as 'Rock' and others as 'RocK', then multiple categories result.

note: my preference is that Rock and RocK should be separate categories, so a possible fix would be to change the behavior in MMW.

The effect of this during synchronization is that tracks synched from MMA will sometimes end up displaying differently in MMA than in MMW since MMW hides case errors, whereas MMA doesn't.

I don't think that this is a really nasty bug, I've set it to 'urgent' for triage in case you can think of other deleterious side effects that I haven't observed (keep 0001412 in mind as well--MMW automatically changes capitalization of tracks added to the library in some cases, to match the capitalization of tracks already in the library).

Seems that leaving this as is in MMA makes sense and that MMW could be modified according to 0001412.

I agree--this should be fixed in MMW.
