How Do I REMOVE* "Apple Music" As My "Default App" For Audio .mp3 files ? [Default App Settings Help]

Hello Everyone,

Another thing driving me crazy lately !

When I double click a song file it automatically opens and plays in Apple Music.

I prefer* to use VLC as my all around media player.

Even when I do this useless method [pictured below], when the song finishes and i click another mp3 file Apple Music opens again.

Am i missing a step ?

Why is it not* saving my preference ?

• Mac Mini M1 on Big Sur 11.1

Is anybody else having this problem ?

What's the solution ?
