Updates to Sound API to make Meta-Data accessible

The Roblox Sound API is currently missing important access to metadata such as Artist, Album, Thumbnail, and other types of data that could be useful in experiences where this could bring positive outreach by providing proper credit to artists, as well as offering tools to create a realistic music player (think Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc.).

I am trying to keep this feature request straight forward, so if there is any explanations or clarifications needed to be added please let me know. [Also I was not sure where API specific requests should go]

This would be a very useful feature. I hope this gets implemented.

You can get artist information from https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/AssetService#GetAudioMetadataAsync

and you can get the thumbnail using rbxthumb://{audio asset id}
