Except for apple music constantly popping up?

This has never happened to me. I exclusively listen to music on my phone, and work every day on my Mac. I have never had the Music app open itself up, not once. Nor I have I experienced anything that is even related to music, such as asking me to subscribe to a service.

  It doesn't pop up on its own, but it is the default response to a lot of actions. Accidentally press the play button? Apple Music. Charge your iphone through your computer? Apple Music. I find it pretty annoying, but it is also easy to eliminate the default behavior

    I leave Music running all the time. I have all the store and subscription features turned off. I just have the program loaded with all of my MP3s, something I've been doing since it was called SoundJam MP [1]. I have all my playlists in there and it works fine with the play/pause/prev/next buttons on the keyboard. I think they bug me about subscribing to Apple Music once every major OS update. I promptly say no and turn off any of the extra features they added. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoundJam_MP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoundJam_MP

Yea, that's annoying. You have to install the noTunes app and set it to run at log in: https://github.com/tombonez/noTunes/releases https://github.com/tombonez/noTunes/releases

Got a touchbar? I discovered the fingers on my right hand barely brush the bottomed edge of it when I make certain multi-key keystrokes. Right where the play “button” was by default. Took me forever to figure out why Music was opening “randomly”. I ended up setting the touchbar to static, not per-program customizable, and replacing most of it with a “spacer” element. Fixed the problem. Luckily they’ve realized they were a bad idea and my newer ones don’t have a touchbar.

  Play/Pause press on a headphone will also do it. And there's just no way to disable that.
