Is there another way to get this infomation using MCWS?

As a request, could <Item Name="Composer"> be included as part of the Info call?

The Playback/Info returns the current FileKey. You then have to do another call to get all the info on that specific file:
/MCWS/v1/File/GetInfo?File=fileKey&Action=JSON

Replace FileKey with the number returned on the Playback/Info call.
