If you know they're *all* uppercase, the easiest way is to replace
this line with:

if iFile.upper() in media:

It's not case insensitive per se. For true case insensitivity, force
media[] to be all-uppercase too:

media=[f.upper() for f in media]

Or you can equally use lower() instead of upper().
