I'm wondering, if it is possible to retrieve more metadata when browsing?
Right now it looks like the browse command only returns simple texts and IDs.

As a remote I'd love to get some more info, especially for albums:
- is the current browsing item an album at all?
- if it's an album I'd love to show the artist name or the album year right along the album name

For other browse items:
- the type of the browse item (generic folder, albums list, album, track, playlist, ...)
this would help a lot in creating better context menu. Looking into JRemote for example it even shows a "playall" context menu item for the "Artists" and "Albums" menu - then in turn the remote actually downloads the full database as a playlist and I'd love to avoid that somehow.

Cheers
Stefan
