iOS launch Music app?

• Eric E. Dolecki iOS launch Music app? May 08 2012, 14:29
  I know I can launch the iTunes app from my own (itms-apps://)
  
  What is the prefix for Apple's Music.app? I'd like to launch it from a
  button.
  
  Thanks,
  Eric

  It's not listed here, but maybe this list will get you on the right path:

  Have you considered Scripting Bridge?  You can use this to not only launch iTunes but also to do anything that can be done using the supported AppleScript interface.

  Oops.  When I think iTunes, I think desktop.  Sorry for the noise.

  This works :)
  
  NSString *stringURL = @"music:";
  NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
  [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];

  Please don't rely on undocumented URL schemes. The current set of documented schemes can be found here: <http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Re
  ference/Introduction/Introduction.html>.
  
  As with all undocumented features, they are subject to change without warning.
