How do I turn off Apple Music player on my iMac running macOS Sequoia 15.5?

I've never seen this problem before. I just did a clean install of Mac OS 15.5 because my MIDI keyboard has a delay I can't seem to get rid of. Anyway, I don't know what pref I chose, but now Apple Music restarts every 15 to 45 seconds. I don't use Apple Music. I get my music from YouTube Music, or I use Plex to play any of my 500+ digitized CDs. I looked online, and the advice is to turn off autoplay. I found the mini-player on my iMac, but I can't find an infinity button on iPhone, iPad or iMac. How do I turn off the Music Player and make it stay off?

I'm not getting any error message. I bought ONE album from the Apple Store years ago (a U2 album that was actually a free giveaway). It keeps trying to play that album. I just tried to hide it. We'll wait and see if that works. Thanks for trying.

Later: I hid the U2 record, and one other song I actually paid to purchase about 7 years ago. I did this about half an hour ago, and so far, the music app hasn't reappeared. I'll keep you posted. I've never had this issue before, so it may be a bug (or not a bug) introduced in 15.5.
