'AnyObject?' is not convertible to 'String!' did you mean to use 'as!' to force downcast? What does this mean?

My playlist.swift code is peppered with this error.

Apple added some new syntax with their most recent Swift/Xcode update. I ran into this myself and my code worked after I let Xcode change my "as"s to "as!" Try updating your code to this new syntax and see if it works.
