RecordLabel
I can't seem to find an album using MusicKit containing RecordLabel. I am using album.with([..., .recordLabels, ...] but I only see an empty recordLabels collection returned for every album I am trying... Is this actually available / populated through MusicKit?

Access "About Artist" information and editorialNotes in general.
Is it possible using MusicKit API's to access the About information displayed on an artist page in Apple Music? I hoped Artist.editiorialNotes would give me the information but there is scarce information in there. Even for Taylor Swift, only editorialNotes.short displays brief info: "The genre-defying singer-songwriter is the voice of a generation." If currently not possible, are there plans for it in the future? Also, with the above in mind, and never seen any editorialNotes for a song, is it safe to assume editorialNotes are mainly used for albums?

AVAudioPlayer stopped making noise... :-)
Hi there, Has something changed with AVAudioPlayer with new Swift/SwiftUI version or when building for iOS 15? This piece of code below used to work without issues when building the app for iOS 14. I use AVAudioPlayer to listen to a preview track from iTunes, e.g. https://audio-ssl.itunes.apple.com/itunes-assets/AudioPreview115/v4/7c/33/61/7c33611a-0fc8-546b-d737-287e75867ddb/mzaf_7738318112069179681.plus.aac.p.m4a. However, I am not hearing any sound on a test device on which I reinstalled the app built with iOS 15 (rather than iOS 14). I did use the exact same code and I am referring to the same URL... Both devices are running iOS 15.3. In short: with production app (built with deployment target iOS 14.x) I can hear sound; test app (built with deployment target iOS 15.3) I cannot hear sound... Code is like class PreviewTrack {     static var audioPlayer: AVAudioPlayer! static func playTheOldWay(sound: String, status: Bool) {         let previewURL = URL(string: sound)         print("Preview Track URL: \(sound)")         let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: previewURL!) { data, _, error in             guard let _ = data,                   error == nil else {                       Logger.viewCycle.info("PreviewTrack - \(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Response Error")")                       return }             if let data = data {                 self.audioPlayer = try? AVAudioPlayer(data: data)                 if status {                     Logger.viewCycle.info("PreviewTrack - Playing Track...")                     self.audioPlayer.play()                 }                 else {                     Logger.viewCycle.info("PreviewTrack - Stoppimng Track...")                     self.audioPlayer.stop()                 }             }         }         task.resume()     } }

Using MusicKit to retrieve playlists and contents of playlists
What is the best approach to retrieve playlists using MusicKit. I can't seem to guess from the docs how to use the API to accomplish this, as well as retrieving tracks from a playlist. I am in the process of migrating code from Apple Music API to MusicKit and I potentially could use MusicDataRequest to retrieve playlists using the Apple Music API endpoints, but I want to be sure there are no better alternatives. Sample code would definitely help.
