Regarding Spotty playlists and podcasts, I've made it possible to
deliberately target them and skip over your regular LMS playlists in the
search if you want. That's slightly faster if you know you want Spotty
anyway and also avoids issues of what to do when both lists have
overlapping entries. 

Just end the -load -command with '-(on|from|via|using)
(spotty|spotify)-', or in the case of podcasts, with '-podcast-' as the
last word. Not doing either will just search through all 3 categories
and play the first found match.

Examples:

Load my 'Spinning' playlist  <-- will check all 3 categories (LMS,
spotty playlists, spotty podcasts)
Load 'Morning Grooves' *using Spotty*  <-- will only check among your
Spotty playlists and not your LMS playlists or your Spotty podcasts
Load 'Workout' playlist *via Spotty* on the bedroom player <-- will only
check among your Spotty playlists and not your LMS playlists or your
Spotty podcasts
Load 'The Joe Rogan Experience' *podcast  *<-- only searches your Spotty
podcasts

Note that this whole feature is using AMAZON.SearchQuery as the slot
type to match against (that's the only way to combine diverse 'things'
like playlist names and plugin names and player names in one utterance).
That will make it flakier as the text after the initial 'load' word
lengthens. In other words, 'Load spinning' would work 100% of the time,
but "Load Grandma's favorite knitting songs playlist using Spotty on the
Upstairs Black Transporter player" might be stretching your luck
somewhat :rolleyes:
