Bug Description
With the song collection in the attached archive, I see duplicate artist art. In the music scope, A-HA and 30 Seconds to Mars are shown twice.
I turns out that this is happening because of tagging errors. There are both "30 Seconds to Mars" and "30 Seconds To Mars" tags present, as well as "A-HA" and "A-Ha".
Brief experimentation with iTunes shows that iTunes is a little bit more clever than we are here, in that it collapses artists that differ only in capitalization into a single artist.
Should we be doing the same thing?

Ignoring capitalization seems reasonable to me. This however should be implemented by mediascanner2 and do not require any client-side logic.
