I tried refreshing before playing, but same thing. public func playTrack(_ track: Track) async { // Check for valid PlayParameters guard track.playParameters != nil else { print("Error: Track (track.title) is missing PlayParameters.

I'm in Puerto Rico right now, is that a problem with Apple Music API?? applicationQueuePlayer _establishConnectionIfNeeded timeout [ping did not pong] Queue cleared.
