...is there a way to force MusicBee to update an album folder path to the correct casing so future exports of the playlist will work correctly?
As far as I can work out the best way (or at least one way) to do this is to move the album to a new folder location and then move it back again.

Right-click > Send To > Folder (Move) > Move Files To Organised Folder

So, for your example, you might want to create a Z:\Temp\ folder and then set the 'to folder' setting to 'Z:\Temp\' and the 'naming template' to '<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Filename>' (or however you save your files).

This should create a new folder structure with the correct capitalisation.
Then repeat the process to put it back using the 'to folder' setting 'Z:\M1\'

It's a little clumsy but I think it works.

Thanks, that does the trick for me personally (since I have write permissions on the music folders). However the rest of my family does not have write permissions so they cannot perform this workaround (and performing it 4 times would be fairly cumbersome anyways).

I guess when one of them wants to add a song of one of the afflicted albums, I'll just add a single character to the folder name, let them rescan, then remove the character and let them rescan again.
That should have the same effect (though it's clumsy as well) and work without write permissions for them.
