Description

I was trying to download the album from this link: https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-girl-the-cat-and-the-tree/1400922790

and the first track won't download. I was told in a previous issue #554 that this might be because the song doesn't appear on it's own when searched on youtube. it only appears in album view on youtube.

Research direction
Investigate the code that resolves individual tracks from an Apple Music album to YouTube videos. The issue mentions that the first track only appears in album view, so the current logic fails to match it. Review the track resolution flow, likely in the module that handles Apple Music links. Consult linked issue #554 for previous discussion on similar problems. Consider adding fallback logic to fetch tracks from album view if individual search fails.
