How do I prevent the Music app from launching uncommanded on my Mac Mini?

I've looked through the Start Open at Login items, not there.

I've looked at Allow In Background, not there.

I've looked at Auto-Playing When Headphones/Bluetooth Are Connected, not there.

I've looked in Shortcuts, not there.

I've looked in AirPlay & Handoff, not there.


Cannot find a command or option to turn off. Music launches randomly, very annoying when it does since I never listen to music on my Mac Mini (up to date OS).


Thoughts? Thank you.

Blocking Apple Music form Popping Up:

Have no need for Apple Music? If so, you can block it, by creating a profile. Then, remove the profile, when you don't want it. See my user tip: How to Use a Profile to Disable the iSight Camera in macOS 15 Sequoia - User Tip. For step 7 of I., de-select Allow Apple Music (supervised only)
