# artist-canonical.list
#
# Canonical artist-name casing. One name per line; '#' starts a comment.
# Write each name exactly as you want it stored (usually how Spotify or the
# artist stylizes it).
#
# The normalize-artist-casing job looks up every distinct album-artist value in
# your library. For any value that matches a name here case-insensitively but
# differs in casing, it rewrites the tag to the form below, and beets then moves
# the album folder to the canonical path.
#
# Why this matters: it prevents Linux-to-Windows Syncthing collisions like
# `Mall Grab/` versus `MALL GRAB/` (the same folder on Windows, two folders on
# Linux), and keeps one artist from being split across differently-cased folders.
#
# To add an artist:
#   1. Look them up and copy their displayed name exactly.
#   2. Add a line below.
#   3. Preview from Settings then Artist Casing, or run the job from Settings
#      then Jobs.
#
# Characters that are illegal in Windows filenames (< > : " \ ? * |) are allowed
# here. beets substitutes them with `_` when building the on-disk path, so the
# tag stays correct while the folder stays Windows-safe.
#
# This file ships empty. Add your own names below, for example:
#
# Mall Grab
# Charli xcx
# deadmau5
