Info/Tags not matching what's shown in player

On certain tracks I can't get the information shown within the info section (which is correct) to match what's shown on the player itself. If you see the screen shot, I edit capitalize certain words but they will not change even after saving and a full rescan. It's minor but super annoying.

Artist names are stored in the music database using the first instance ever encountered during music scanning. After that, any further instances of that same artist name (case insensitive) will use that first encountered variant to keep the database and lists tidy. Otherwise you could have lots of versions appearing in your Artists lists - "the beatles", "The beatles", "The Beatles", "THE BEATLES", etc.

This "correct" version will be remembered even after a Full Rescan, as long as that artist is still present. The easiest fix is first make sure all of your tags are correct and then move all of that artist's songs out of your scanable music folders. Then do a Full Rescan (so the artist is not present at all, and their name is forgotten) and then move the songs back again.
