Music app launches with bluetooth earbud connection in Catalina This has been asked before  in the days of iTunes, but I'm still having trouble and the one Catalina-centric comment on that thread didn't work for me. I never want to use apple's music app, yet I manage to open on a daily basis by either connecting my bluetooth earbuds (Taotronics Liberty 79) or possibly by pressing the play/pause button on them. Sometimes it starts playing the few sad lonely songs I've purchased from apple. I want none of this and would uninstall Music.app if it were possible. Is there a way to prevent music from opening inadvertently like this? I've tried Music.app --&gt; preference --&gt; restrictions and checked all the boxes under &quot;Disable:&quot; (Music Profiles, Apple Music, iTunes Store, Shared Libraries).
