Thanks. Works nicely. I even found the bit in the manual where you describe how to do it.

One followup question. I'm writing an app on Android using the Cling API. When I request RipDate/2017-3/4 Albums I get 4 containers returned as I'd expect but the containers are not the same Java class as they are when Albums are requested via a different path. Normally the Cling API hands me Container of MusicAlbum, but in this case the classes are just Container. Below is a dump from a RIP_DATE request:

Type: Container, Container: 0$=RIP_DATE$12467$albums$185, title: Broken Boy Soldiers, children: 10
Properties: 6
Name: genre, Type: String, value: Alt. Rock
Name: date, Type: String, value: 2006-01-01
Name: artist, Role: Composer, value: The Raconteurs
Name: artist, Role: AlbumArtist, value: The Raconteurs
Name: artist, Role: null, value: The Raconteurs
Name: albumArtURI, Type: URI, value: http://172.16.2.10:9790/minimserver/*/Mu.../Cover.png

And this is from a request from an album from Artist/<album artist>/2 Albums for the same album:
Type: MusicAlbum, Container: 0$=Artist$18315$albums$*a185, title: Broken Boy Soldiers, children: 10
Properties: 6
Name: genre, Type: String, value: Alt. Rock
Name: date, Type: String, value: 2006-01-01
Name: artist, Role: Composer, value: The Raconteurs
Name: artist, Role: AlbumArtist, value: The Raconteurs
Name: artist, Role: null, value: The Raconteurs
Name: albumArtURI, Type: URI, value: http://172.16.2.10:9790/minimserver/*/Mu.../Cover.png

As you can see the container data appears to be identical, but Cling has not instantiated the former as MusicAlbum.
