##Query the server for main artists:
The LMS Server categorizes artist into two groups, main artists and compilation artists. With the plugin you can query the server to return main artists only. The SlimLibrary App uses this query to group your artists into these two categories.
##Enhanced album queries:
With the plugin you can query the server for multiple artists, genres and years all in the same query. The plugin also adds 'Ascending' or 'Descending' sort orders and adss 'Date Added' as a sort by option. Version 2.00 of the plugin now supports composer queries too.
