New MusicKit JS release?

Thank you for the question, @farleyja

MusicKit JS v3 is available now, but is labeled as ‘beta’. You can find details about this version at https://developer.apple.com/musickit/web/

We are actively working on finalizing this framework for developers. If there are any questions or feedback, please file a ticket at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com for us to consider. We appreciate input from our developers!

Following up on my own post - it looks like the readme docs for beta V3 referenced above now clarify that the API wrappers have been removed from the MusicKit JS SDK. I hadn't reviewed them in some time and I must have missed the update. I've done some testing with V3 and the player seems much much more reliable in this version. In fact, a healthy amount of bandaid logic we needed for V1 may be able to get retired, which would be very welcome.

Looking forward to the eventual release of this, including documentation updates...

Thank you for your feedback, @farleyja

We have recently release major updates to our MusicKit on the Web v3 documentation. V3 does indeed represent a change in paradigm, moving away from individual methods mapping to specific Apple Music API endpoints and instead providing a single 'passthrough' API method that handles the appropriate headers and consistent formatting of query parameters, etc., but supporting all endpoints from Apple Music API.

For more information on the differences between v1 and v3, view the Migrating to MusicKit on the Web v3 documentation.

If there are other topics or use cases you think would be valuable to have documented for MusicKit on the Web, we welcome feedback via tickets in the Feedback Assistant

Thanks, we'll review the updated docs.
