This looks brilliant.  I might try it myself, but I'm primarily looking
for something my elderly visually impaired mother can use to play her
classical music collection.
I've recently given her an Echo dot to play with, but results with
classical music are very disappointing with Spotify or Amazon music. 
I'm willing to rip all her CDs and set this up if it's simple and
reliable enough for her to use.  

I have remote access to her PC, but it has to be essentially 100%
reliable or she'll give up. I hate to ask a silly question, but is it
all pretty robust?

I imagine I'd need to set up LMS, set shuffle to off (for those
classical CDs). I don't think the Alexa skill supports use of "composer"
and other classical tags, but using LMS support for multiple genre tags
should allow us to help classify things. I expect I may rename some CDs
entirely, so she can ask to play an album called "Fred" instead of its
actual really long name, and then print out a list on paper in big
print.
