Get Shuffled Tracks from Media Player - swift

Question

I want to get the queue from the Media Player. I believe that I can't read the queue though (is this correct?) and that I can only get the queue when I set it, like when I select a certain playlist to play. However I'm struggling to get the shuffled queue.
let musicPlayerController = MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer
let myMediaQuery = MPMediaQuery.songs()
let predicateFilter = MPMediaPropertyPredicate(value: chosenPlaylist, forProperty: MPMediaPlaylistPropertyName)
myMediaQuery.filterPredicates = NSSet(object: predicateFilter) as? Set<MPMediaPredicate>
musicPlayerController.setQueue(with: myMediaQuery)
musicPlayerController.repeatMode = .all
musicPlayerController.shuffleMode = .songs
musicPlayerController.play()
for track in myMediaQuery.items! {
print(track.value(forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyTitle)!)
} // here I don't get the shuffled order that is going to play, just get the original order of the playlist
I need the shuffled as I want to be able to display what's going to play next.

I've had trouble with .shuffleMode in the past. Call shuffled() on the collection instead:
// shuffle
func shufflePlaylist() {
let query = MPMediaQuery.songs()
let predicate = MPMediaPropertyPredicate(value: "Art Conspiracy",
forProperty: MPMediaPlaylistPropertyName,
comparisonType: .equalTo)
query.addFilterPredicate(predicate)
guard let items = query.items else { return }
let collection = MPMediaItemCollection(items: items.shuffled())
player.setQueue(with: collection)
player.prepareToPlay()
player.play()
}
