Swift Playgrounds Crashes While Apple Music is Playing Music

While playing music on Apple Music using the current version of OS X (Big Sur, all updates applied) I was learning Swift using Swift Playgrounds (up to date) with the background music disabled and sound effects enabled.

When advancing from one module to another (any module) I get a crash, stating "There was a problem running this page. Check your code for problems. If you are stuck, start over to delete all of your changes on this page and try again." and the 3d playground does not appear.

Since Apple Music hangs for a brief moment when this happens, and the music stops for about 2 seconds, I'm assuming this is some resource sharing issue.

Anyways, I don't know if this is the right place to report this, since I'm new to developing for the Apple ecosystem. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.

The best way to get your feedback in front of the folks who can enact change is to file a bug report. Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Share and Enjoy
