Good to hear — thanks :cool:

As a tip, playing by dot notation in the top-level folder works faster
(via e.g. '0 dot 6') than playing by number (e.g. with '#6') does.

When playing by name, the underlying search function is not as tolerant
of punctuation as other LMS commands are. In the end, a recursion will
find a favorite anyway, but for the speed of a direct-find it's better
to match Alexa's punctuation if possible. 
She thinks 'Seaside FM' is spelled 'Sea-side FM' and so a match is only
happening on my 3rd API request towards LMS (1: 'Sea-side FM', 2:
'Sea-side', 3: 'FM'). If you rename the favorite to 'Sea-side FM' it
will play a fraction faster :)
