Apple Music URL Schema

I need to know the Apple Music URL scheme to open a specific song. So far I have used the link:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/monsieur-cousteau/id496076893?i=496076903&uo=4

This link worked fine in the iTunes Store, but now it no longer works. This is because the link is open by Apple Music, and it seems to work because it opens an album, but not a specific song.

The link structure has changed, now there is an open flag for the open method:

Itunes:

 https://geo.itunes.apple.com/au/album/monsieur-cousteau/id496076893?i=496076903&app=itunes

Apple Music:

 https://geo.itunes.apple.com/au/album/monsieur-cousteau/id496076893?i=496076903&mt=1&app=music

Pay attention to app= at the end

There is a link generator here: http://linkmaker.itunes.apple.com/ , but I would understand that you are generating them from your own apple ID yes log?

You will also need to change the repository, I /au/ , because I am in Australia, these links do not always automatically redirect the user and may give "Not available in your store" errors.

To skip to a specific track, you use this:

 https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/monsieur-cousteau/id496076893?i=496076903&app=itunes&ign-mpt=uo%3D4#

Pay attention to the change in the uo part, I'm not sure how this particular part is created when I left the industry a year ago, but there is additional information here: https://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/ tools_en.html , unfortunately, I no longer work in this industry. I am no longer classified as a partner.
