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?

I am trying to retrieve same information about a song as is available on the music.apple.com page (see screenshot).
It seems neither MusicKit and/or Apple Music API's deliver that depth of information. For example, the names listed for Production and Techniques.
Am I correct?
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?
I am retrieving successfully chart information using MusicCatalogChartsRequest() but I can see the results returned are always based on the country (store) I am connected to as a user (i.e. the Netherlands). Is it possible using the MusicKit API to retrieve chart details from other countries (i.e. USA)?
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()
}
}
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.
