one annoying one that's notably missing: There's no way to get rid of the Music.app, and the play/pause hardware button on my M2 macbook is always mapped to that app.

I inadvertently press this button all the time and it launches Music.app, taking about 1/4th of the 8gb of shared memory

One of the first things I install on macbooks is this app that prevents iTunes or Apple Music from launching

as someone who just launched Apple Music by accident yesterday... thank you.

I noticed this most recently when having selected "restart and update" for a system upgrade, and seeing the white apple on a black background with a progress bar, I bumped the play/pause key.

Sure enough, music.app launched in the background somehow and started playing!

This annoyingness actually started with Snow Leopard, IIRC. (Though of course it was iTunes and not Music, but still hardcoded)

That’s weird. On mine, I can’t delete that app but the buttons control my Spotify just fine.

They’ll control Spotify if it’s running, but if it’s closed, Music will auto-open.
