As far as I know there is no other solution at the moment if you want a
separate "Composers" menu.

There is an enhancement request which you can vote on if you like
SBS/LMS to support a separate composers menu:
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=709

A few months ago I did a simple test to try to implement a simple
plugin that provided a Composers menu but after looking into it I
realized that I had to re-implement a lot of stuff because the Logitech
query logic doesn't offer you to get a list with only composers. So it
resulted in a bit too much code and too much work so I decided to not
do it.

Generally I try to advice people to not try to run SBS/LMS on a NAS
because neither SBS/LMS nor my plugins is optimized for usage on
devices with little memory. I personally consider 512MB minimum,
because 256MB might work but you can easily end up with an unstable
system if you try to use a lot of third party plugins or other stuff
that requires extra memory. I'm generally using 512MB on the servers
I'm using for SBS or LMS and that has worked reliably in my own
library, but my library is a bit smaller than yours.
