I will not be using SlimBrowse for local library browsing. It's too
limited, with enforcing server sort, limiting what metadata is sent on
the listing, etc. Just too many compromises - I prefer the current
method. I know I could get all the meta data with multiple calls, but
without using SlimBrowse I don't need to. I looked into adding the
'More' menu options for local library and to be honest, not sure I see
the point to these - however, I will try to implement.

I am using it for Favorites (as the other method does not give cover
images) and for Radios. I will also try to use for Apps - but even here
there are issues with the Band Campout app. The current implementation
is quite limited, and is very similar to the non-SlimBrowse method, and
I need to add support for other actions, etc.

Currently the choice of a single Artist list (Artists and AlbumArtists)
or separate lists is respected, and controlled from the server. The
additional browse modes (e.g Classicial music with composer, etc) is
supported. I've added an item to my TODO to support the extra modes -
those controlled via the checkboxes. These will be placed under the
"More" main menu option. (There also seems to be a slight issue where
not all the entries in "More" are added/shown)
