Apple Music opening randomly - why? and how do I stop it? Apple music keeps opening at random. This happens periodically, meaning that there have been periods over the last few years when it frequently opens. For the last 24 hours the problem has started again ,and with maddening frequency. Sometimes it opens again as soon as I close it, sometimes it takes 10 or 15 minutes before it opens again. Things I have already done: checked that Music is not set to open at log in (it is not) installed another music player in hopes that it would become the default completely decoupled Music from any libraries so that it opens quickly instead of hanging the entire system while it opens What can I do to prevent Music from opening automatically? Or how can I uninstall Music?

Apple Music Keeps Launching All By Itself (1Mac M1, 2021, OS 15.3.1) Apple Music keeps launching itself and playing at random times, but oftentimes when I do anything with the USB input ports. This is extremely annoying. It will also start randomly playing YouTube videos, should I happen to have one displaying in a browser window. How can I exorcise the demon from my iMac?
