Munge earlier, munge harder

[poddmo]

Apply ALBUMFILE, ARTISTFILE, TRACKFILE munging immediately after CDDB retrieval and use that normalised info for presentation, tagging and naming.

Example: diffs between CDDB choices will only differ by capitalisation. Eliminating that distraction leaves more attention for other details like track names, typos and punctuation. Apply normalised data to metadata, tags, cue sheet details and file names.

Examples of inconsistent capitals in cddbchoice diff:
