In MacOS iTunes it was possible to "switch off" tracks in the list of songs, so that they would not be played automatically. I do not see how this can be achieved in Music.

You can get the checkboxes back in the Music/Settings menu.
If you use shuffle then you can tick "Skip When Shuffling" in the Options tab of each songs' Info settings. You can select multiple tracks to do this with.
You could enter comments for the the tracks you don't want to play - say "Not this one" - and then create a smart playlist to exclude tracks with "Not this one" in comments.
If you never want to play them they you can delete them from your library.

When using the Songs tab in iTunes, have you "unticked" the songs you do not want to be played? I no longer use iTunes, so my memory may be off. If you don't see the checkboxes when viewing the songs, there is a way to show them in Settings and I believe it is under General > Show > List View Checkboxes.
My problem is not with iTunes, but Music. The checkboxes that you (and I) remember from iTunes seem no longer to be present in Music. All tracks are therefore automatically playable, which is what I want to avoid.
That's it. Thank you very much!
How can I stop certain tracks from playing in Music app on Mac?
