PlaySomethingBy

Plays one each of all songs in your library that have the named artist mentioned as a contributor within (part of) the artist name, on the specified/assumed/elicited player. Useful when you have tags for artists such as 'Chicane (feat. Paul Aiden)' to ask for Paul Aiden tracks.

Due to an oddity in LMS' search behaviour, the results will be different if the requested artist-name has whitespace or not, i.e. is a single word like 'Madonna' or multiple words like 'Bob Seger'. In the former case, the command matches any tags in which the artist-name is found, including albumartist. In the latter case, it matches trackartist/artist only.

Invocation options (choose based on grammar-fit):

Alexa, [ open / start / launch ] MediaServer
Alexa, [ ask / tell ] MediaServer [ to / for ]

{songs} can be any of [the] songs/tunes/tracks/numbers/something.
