Comment on How to set volume with MusicKit Web?
Thanks for this, but I'm not sure about your syntax (with the underscores) or the ability to access the current player. I know that music.volume = 0.05; works when music is an MusicKit instance. I can get isPlaying from music.player.isPlaying, for example, but I don't think music.player.currentPlayer exists.

Comment on Get Songs from Apple Music API recently added
Hi @snuff4, I finally got back around to this and your struct does work, thanks! I do have to do the following to get the albums into a from I can work with of the playlist: let albums = items.compactMap{$0.relationships.catalog.compactMap{$0}}.flatMap{$0} This is probably because I'm too lazy and dumb on Swift. Frankly the whole reason I'm doing this is because of what I think is a bug in the iOS Music app, which I've asked the ever-helpful @JoeKun to check out here. And after going through this exercise, I realize that "recently added" isn't going to help, because what I want to do is check recently added for songs that do not exist in certain user library playlists. And since I can only get Albums, followed by subsequent API calls to get Tracks from said Albums, I can only know if there is an intersection of playlist tracks with the recently added album tracks, which lets me ask: "What are the tracks in recently added that are not in this particular playlist", but results in potentially all of the recently added album tracks that I don't care about. I wish Recently Added had an option for tracks, and I think I'm not alone with that sentiment.

Comment on MusicKit Web Playback States
Amazing, right? The redheaded bastard of the Apple Music world has a state that I never use. Seriously folks, you should hire me to fix this stuff.

Thanks, @makabaka1880. That same pattern works for me in all but the case I've mentioned with .includeTopResults.

Comment on MusicCatalogSearchRequest does not find Albums that are found when using the Music app with the same search string
Thanks for the reply, @JoeKun. If things ever get fixed, it would be nice to know; otherwise, I'll keep trying with hope first and the workaround second.

Comment on Missing play parameters when trying to play with MusicKit - potential storefront issue
Thanks, @JoeKun! One thing that I found is that these issues seem to occur when making a catalog request based on an ISRC. While it would be nice to use ISRC, it seems more problematic than just using a search string, which seems to always return song that are playable.

Comment on Deep link to Apple Music library playlist from Swift (iOS) app
Thanks @JoeKun, for your follow up. While I don't quite know what "opaque" actually means, I think you've confirmed that the Apple Music app does not presently support what I'm trying to do. I shall follow your advice and file a ticket.
