  • Follow the APIv6 conventions if version 6.0.0 or higher requested by the client on handshake
  • Follow the APIv6 conventions if the client doesn't specify any version
    • this may be overridden using the config.php key music.ampache_api_default_ver
  • Follow the APIv4 conventions with backward compatibility for APIv3 if version 3.x.x or 4.x.x requested by the client on handshake
    • these are the same conventions which previous versions of Music always used
