Description of the bug

In a collection of music, if the Artists folder containing albums has a slightly different name due to capitalisation for example (The vs the), to the Artist TAG in the music files, then there will be a duplicated artist in Jellyfin's Artist and Album Artist View.

Reproduction steps

Have a music library where artist folders may be named slightly differently to the Artist tag in the files they contain. Then import into a Jellyfin music library.

What is the current bug behavior?

Duplication of Artist on artist and album artist page.

What is the expected correct behavior?

Jellyfin should ONLY use the Artist and Album Artists tag for metadata and sorting, not the folder name.
