How do I uncheck large blocks of songs in my Apple Music library on my MBP OS 10.15.5?

All my songs are checked, by default I suppose. I have tried many ways to uncheck the hundreds of songs that are in my library, with no luck. There also seem to be no operations in the pull-down menus to remove all checks. What am I missing?

Deleting Songs from the Apple Music library also deletes them for a playlist! HOW CAN I STOP THIS???? i know this has probably been asked 1000 times - but i still can't find an answer! on my iMac using Apple Music: if i add a song to a playlist WITHOUT adding it to my library - the song will stay in my playlist until i edit the playlist. perfect. works great. if i add a song to my library and then add that song to a playlist or two - but then i want to clean out the "library" and remove the song / delete the downloaded file - it also removes it from the playlist???? THAT IS STUPID! am i missing something? some setting? a secret hack? dumbest thing ever.

Cannot uncheck songs in my library on my Macbook Pro Cannot uncheck songs in my library. They are ALL checked. 2010 MacBook Pro. Have tried the "edit" button but either checking the wrong thing or....? Want to burn a CD (first time) and do not want to burn the entire library. THANK YOU very much. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Music is not a part of my life. How do I delete Apple Music from my Mac? I have used a Mac as my main computer for more than ten years and never used the iTunes or Apple Music app. I never listen to streaming music and have never downloaded a single mp3 file. Music (the app, as well as the real-world art) is just not a part of my life. But when I have my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones on for noise cancellation or to follow some youtube video commentary, oftentimes a stray touch on the headphone's control surface will cause Apple Music to pop up. How do I delete Apple's Music from my Mac? I tried to drag the Music icon to the Bin (Trash) but that doesn't seem to work.

Highlight one song, then Command-A to highlight them all. Right-click and choose "Uncheck Selection."
