Followers of the thread know I don't currently have a physical Alexa,.
so can't subscribe yet. I don't have the auto-update working properly
yest, but when I update manually I can try out voice commands.  

I'm about (maybe) to rip 2-300 classical CDs and tag them for my mother
to play.The only free voice command I've found to test is "List albums
by xxxx".

If I tick the box in LMS to include composers in artists, I think the
plugin searches the combined (artists+composers) list, but then tries to
look up albums using only the artist tag, and so can't find any:     

"List albums by Franz Joseph Haydn"
Alexa: You do have works by Franz Joseph Haydn but i can't find any
albums

Might this be changed so you can find albums by composer? I'm assuming
it's a fair amount of work to fill a niche demand, and probably won't
change?

This skill/plugin is great, but I can see that getting Alexa to
understand names for classical albums is going to be a struggle. "CPE
Bach" is not understood at all by Alexa (seabird, seapen, asbo), though
"JS Bach" is, as though Alexa has been primed for that one.
