I'm sorry, I feel like I'm missing something here. I have an M1 Macbook Pro running Sonoma 14.1.1 (I need to update...), I have a nice pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones. I turn my headphones on and off multiple times a day, they connect to my Mac, Apple Music doesn't launch. What are you all complaining about?

Edit: Just tried connecting my 3M Worktunes, and they didn't launch anything either.

I’m beginning to think the same. Can’t reproduce with Apple (including Beats) or Sony. Would be interesting to know which headphones do exhibit this behaviour. This seems to me to be a headphone manufacturer SNAFU.

There are some Bluetooth audio devices that send the play command when connected. I had a car that did this. It was absolutely infuriating.

Yeah I can't reproduce this with my AirPods Pro either. Simply connecting does nothing. I would assume something is causing a stray input as if you'd pressed the button on your headphones, which can launch Music.

I've definitely seen it launch as I put my AirPods Pro into their case (but not consistently), so maybe it is something with the pressure-sensitive stalks. Thanks, I hadn't considered that possibility.
