Individually, I think both work great, but I am running into a problem
using the two together.

I use Qobuz primarily for listening in the classical genre, where the
plugin's option to "Show composer with artist" is a useful feature,
particularly when listening to something I am not familiar with.
However, once I enable that feature, the MAI Artist Biography is then
usually empty; I assume because it is trying to lookup the artist with
the composer, rather than just the artist alone.

For example, when streaming the new Brahms / MacMillan album, (which I
recommend by the way,) if the composer is not added to the artist, then
the artist bio for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra comes up as
expected. If the option is enabled, then the lookup is for "Pittsburgh
Symphony Orchestra, Johannes Brahms" which of course is going to be
empty.

So, would it be possible, when the composer has been added to the
artist, could MAI just use the artist for fetching a bio? Or if the bio
is initially empty and artist is a string of comma separated names,
could MAI be enhanced so that the user could click on a single
comma-delimited name to attempt to load a biography?
