[Banshee-List] iTunes Music Library.xml and case-sensitivity of file paths

[dbwest <dbwestwood gmail com>]

Hi,


I've been trying to move my iTunes music library from a case-insensitive
system (iTunes 12.3.1.23 in Windows 8.1) to a case-sensitive system (Linux
Mint 17), and I'm encountering problems with the "iTunes Music Library.xml"
file. In Windows, it doesn't matter that the specified path in the .xml
document doesn't exactly match the name of the corresponding file. For
instance, the .xml document lists the path of The Beatles' "A Taste of
Honey" as /.../04%20A%20Taste%20of%20Honey.m4a but the filename is "04 A
Taste Of Honey.m4a". The only difference is that "of" is capitalized in the
filename, but not in the path specified in the .xml file. This causes the
track's metadata not to be imported in Linux because it's looking for "04 A
Taste of Honey" with the lowercase "of". Is there a way to rewrite the
iTunes Music Library.xml file so that it matches the filenames to the paths
in a case-sensitive way?


Thanks!
