Hey folks, I am trying to get the track list for the playlist with the ID: OLAK5uy_mo0wJh-LjbaTD5NsVO--RzKkToBnonkUw and noticed it has a different response than the one in the tests and is failing to be parsed. Not entirely sure what's the issue here but figured I'd raise it. Attached is a sample-response.txt with the json.

The ID you linked is in fact an album (Avicii - TIM). The proper way to get that page with ytmusicapi is to use

browseId = ytm.get_album_browse_id(playlistId)
ytm.get_album(browseId)
