Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hello, for a personal project, i use a lot the get_album_browse_id function that map for an album, the AudioPlaylistId to the BrowseId.
But there is not a reciprocal function.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would need to use a new function named get_album_playlist_id that would map the BrowseId to the AudioPlaylistId.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I could run the get_album(browse_id)['audioPlaylistId'] to extract all the album info and keep only the playlist id, but i would like to keep things clean.

Additional context
I already created this function that leverage the redirect from https://music.youtube.com/browse/browse_id.
I could do a pull-request.

What's the issue with get_album(browse_id)['audioPlaylistId'] ?

Feel free to write your own YTMusic class inheriting from YTMusic & add a wrapper around it, if you think it's too verbose.

that's what i end up doing ! Initially my thought was to reduce api call but after diving into your code, it's the same.
