Turning off Music Genius

How to turn off Music Genius update?

It kept trying but always failed and pop up error message.

I never use this feature and it is pretty useless to me.

If it can't be turned off from preferences, anyone knows how to turn it off from some "config" file/setting?

Hello account12,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to turn off Genius in the Music app of your Mac. We can help point you in the right direction.


If your music library is synced to multiple devices, the option to disable Genius is unavailable. Now if this is not the case, you can turn off genius by following the section in this article that says, "Turn Genius on or off": Use Genius Shuffle or Genius Playlists in Music on Mac


Best regards.
