prevent Music app from launching - Fritz - 08-26-2023
since I found my way back to a functioning iTunes under Monty,
I'd like Music to stop randomly launching.
It's not listed on log-in items.
But every now in then it launches.
Haven't figured out what causes this.
Anyone have a Terminal command to keep it down?

no doubt, it wants you to log in to your icloud account so you can sign up for some kinda of paying service.
I can't imagine your effort to replace music with itunes is gonna work. Apple will fight you all the way.

The best solution would be to find out why it is launching and stop whatever it is BUT failing that you could setup a crontab line such as:
* * * * * killall Music
if you haven't used crontab it is very simple. Just enter "crontab -e" at the command line, press lowercase "I" to insert, paste in that line, then press esc on the keyboard followed by ":wq" and Bob's your uncle.
I do agree with Hal that your solution of running iTunes on a more modern OS could be problematic but if it works...it works. iTunes is certainly the more capable program and if I could go backwards I would do it.

Got a phone connected to your Mac (charging or syncing) when it launches?
Any chance you're accidentally hitting the play/pause/forward/back function keys on your keyboard?
Re: prevent Music app from launching - Fritz - 08-26-2023
no phone connect.
hitting the play/pause/forward/back function keys are working w/iTunes and not launching Music.

I gotta think that whatever was done will be undone in an update.
but if you can get it going, I may do the same on one system...
