Hi all, I am working with MusicKit and have managed to get a user's recommendation playlists (favorites, get up, etc). Isolating just one, I am trying to access the tracks in there using .tracks but it returns nothing. Wondering if I am doing something wrong or if these don't have tracks necessarily associated with them. Code is below (not everything just kinda where I am accessing the playlist)

try await requestMusicAuthorization() let request = MusicPersonalRecommendationsRequest() let response = try await request.response()

            guard let madeForYou = response.recommendations.first(where: { $0.title == "Made for You" }) else {
                throw NSError(domain: "RecommendationError", code: 0, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "No 'Made for You' recommendation found."])
            }
            
            guard let firstPlaylist = madeForYou.playlists.first else {
                throw NSError(domain: "PlaylistError", code: 1, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "No playlists found in 'Made for You' recommendation."])
            }
            
            print("Fetching tracks for playlist: \(firstPlaylist.name ?? "Unknown")")
            
            let playlistRequest = MusicCatalogResourceRequest<Playlist>(matching: \.id, equalTo: firstPlaylist.id)
            let playlistResponse = try await playlistRequest.response()
            
            guard let playlist = playlistResponse.items.first else {
                throw NSError(domain: "PlaylistError", code: 2, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "Couldn't fetch the playlist details."])
            }
            
            guard let tracks = playlist.tracks else {
                throw NSError(domain: "PlaylistError", code: 3, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "No tracks found in the playlist."])
            }

Hello @ghasler9, thank you for your post. Please see Explore more content with MusicKit. Once you have a Playlist, you can request further details on this playlist object using with(_:). Below is a simple example:

let request = MusicLibraryRequest<Playlist>()
let response = try await request.response()

if let playlist = response.items.first {
    let detailedPlaylist = try await playlist.with(.tracks)
}
