Music

Summary:
MPMediaItem objects added to my library from the iTunes Store or Apple Music don't have a releaseDate value

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a song to a playlist from the Music app that you haven't purchased so that it comes from your Apple Music subscription
2. [item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyReleaseDate];
3. item.releaseDate

Expected Results:
A valid release date

Actual Results:
nil in both steps #2 & #3

Version:
iOS 10.1.1 & 9.3.5

Notes:
Attached is some sample output that ignores nil values. The reason some of the persistentIDs show up as negative is because of overflow.

Configuration:
