Change media keys to open spotify instead of apple music

There is an old solution that does not work. F9 / play key opens Apple Music (the iTunes successor). I was expecting to find this setting in system preferences>keyboard>Shortcuts somewhere. Any thoughts? Is there no other way than to use this Automator-instruction?
