Thanks, but yeeezzz all that to remove/uninstall an app? I think I'll pass on that one.
So is there any solution on the issue that Apple Music randomly opens without doing anything with the computer that's trigging this odd behavior? I'm not signed in in Apple music btw
Hard to tell. There is a chance it's not completely random. Perhaps, it's not properly quit, just closed, so when you use a shortcut, say, Command and 0 (zero) it pops up.
Try properly quitting it (open the app, press Command and Q), then restarting the Mac.
Also, try restarting in Safe Mode (hold the Shift key when restarting, it will take more time to restart. Then, when booted, restart regularly).

Well, lets put it this way, I was a bit unspecific in my OP.
I've never started Apple Music since my reinstall of the whole thing (Mac Mini M1) the other week.
Today it's opened three time so far. The first time when i started my BT headphones.
I don't use Apple music on any device (avid YouTube Premium/Music user)
So if i can get rid of the application without altering system settings and not to be affected when upgrading OS and so on, that would be great
(why are they bundling Apple Music of all clients there is? At least please make the installation optional)
something to do with the BT headphones? you could try removing the headphones from bluetooth preferences, and reconnecting. something is causing the app to open....
Yes, the thing is i am startin the same pair of headphones at least 10+ times a day, every day. Well the issue hasn't shown since lunch time (last time apporx 3h ago) so I'll just going to relax and see if it happens again.
not sure what the fix is, but at least you know more of what's happening. perhaps someone else here has some ideas, or... google. good luck with it!
well, in my instance of this annoying AF bug, it's a volume pedal between my lap steel guitar and garageband. it's supposed to swell the volume but instead, as soon as it hits full on, the music app on my m1 mac mini starts.
it's not random. it's triggered by anything like taking a call, using a pedal to change the volume in GB, etc. AND WORSE, you cannot delete this POS app.
Apple Music usually starts when I turn my B&O Beoplays off or take them off.
While this admittedly is not perfect, please remember: there are larger, more important things at play here than our little annoyances. I mean, somehow Apple needs to grow its quarterly Services 17.5 billions $ piece of the cake, so obviously we can't just go and disable or even uninstall Music, can we?

I was on the phone today with a senior engineering tech at Apple - he was challenged by this bug so we timestamp documented how an external volume knob, volume pedal (or, I guess, any external potentiometer) triggered the music app to automatically turn on (playing whatever last song played, which is, imo, a bug unto itself - if it didn't autoplay, I wouldn't care if Music was open as long as it was quiet).
After working our way through determing it wasn't a startup, preference, etc issue on my 2021 Mac M1 Mini. It's definitely the OS thinking any external pot is an on/off trigger and not specific to any app being used (as in Garageband or Audacity)
He's bumped this bug up (along with my Mac's diagnostics) to the 'head fixers' and I'm scheduled for a callback next Wed.
I'll be sure to pass on any fix or feedback after that.
