The documentation for the Apple Music API indicates that the genreNames field for a given artist (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applemusicapi/artists/attributes-data.dictionary) is an array of strings. However, it only appears as though you return ONE SINGLE GENRE per Artist, regardless of how many genres might be attached to that artist's albums.
Am I missing something? Is there an artist where multiple genres may be returned, or is this a bug in the documentation?

I’m spot-checking some of the data I’m extracting from the Apple Music Feed parquet files and finding numerous issues of invalid album IDs.
For example, just looking at any album with a primary artist id of 163043, I see a few albums that are not available at music.apple.com/us/album/NNN. These include:
981094158 - Time and the River
1803443737 - Celebration (Live New York ’80)
1525426873 - Anything You Want: The Warner-Reprise-Elektra Years
I notice that neither of these album ids are returned using the general Music API, so I’m a bit confused why they would exist in the parquet files at all.
Thanks.

The documentation of the Apple Music Feed API states that the Album object would include songs — a list of songs in the album. As per the doc, this would be an array of object Album.RelatedSong, which would include both an id and nameDefault.
Unfortunately, the album parquet files only include the song id and not the name of the song itself.
Please advise - is the documentation incorrect or are the recently posted parquet files in error?

I've established proper authorization for general music api calls, but when I use that same authorization to retrieve metadata for the latest music feeds (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applemusicfeed/requesting-a-feed-export), I get a 401 Unauthorized error.
As per the documentation, I'm simply issuing a GET against https://api.media.apple.com/v1/feed/album/latest.
Are there different entitlements needed for the Music Feed API?
