Is Apple Music (the app, not the service) for Windows scriptable

itunesscriptwindows

Apple used to support COM as API for iTunes. AFAIK, this support has been officially dropped. Now with Apple Music for Windows on the horizon, is there any information available whether, and if so how, it will be scriptable? Will there be a COM automation interface again or some other means of programmatic access to the library data like the iTunes Library Framework on macOS?
