This release fixes #4, queuing of items containing non-ASCII characters in the artist, album or song name. It was broken, at least for me, because of a discrepancy between Unicode normalizations. Alfred would pass strings to the "Play" action with combining characters, e.g. ö would be o\N{COMBINING DIAERESIS} whereas mpd would expect it as the single character \N{LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS}. The fix normalizes all strings to Unicode NFC before using them in the mpd query.

The release name is from a Björk track off 2004's Medúlla. It means "all brightness" in Icelandic, per her translation in an interview.
