Describe the Bug

When modifying or creating playlists, the state can get out of sync very quickly and new playlists or new songs in playlists can not appear entirely even when the refresh button is pressed ( you have to press Ctrl+Shift+R). This causes another bug, the wrong song can play if the playlist state is out of sync as the new songs dont appear visually but it has been updated internally.

Example:

1 New Song (but does not appear yet)
2 New Song (but does not appear yet)
3 Existing Song
4 Existing Song
5 Existing Song
6 Existing Song

I click to play song 3 but it actually plays song 1. Same thing for existing songs, ex. I click song 5 and it actually plays song 3.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the Apple Music iOS or Android app to add a song to an existing playlist (like your Favorite Songs), ideally multiple
2. Press refresh on Cider
3. The new songs will likely not appear, but trying to play a existing song will not play the song you clicked on but instead a different song.
4. The new songs should appear when Ctrl+Shift+R is pressed, then refresh on the playlist. Or, Ctrl+Shift+R then clicking off then back on and the wrong song playing issue will fix.

Anything else?

Another funny reactivity issue here. I don't think I need to explain.

Cider insists Smells Like Teen Spirit is Busy Child

Seems to be fixed when starting the playlist again at a specific song but still shows that Cider has some very odd reactivity problems

bump (again). The issue with the wrong album cover being shown appears to be when either MusicKit or Cider fails to get information / play a song and immediately skips it. Again, likely a Vue reactivity issue.
