My Mac randomly starts playing Apple Music
I don't have the play/ pause button on my function bar so am not be doing it myself. How can I fix or prevent this?

Hello scottrd,
We'd love to assist you with your Mac audio. First, does the issue only occur when using a specific app or when accessing a specific website?
Also, have you tested the issue while in safe mode using the steps here: How to use safe mode on your Mac. Once in safe mode, you'd want to use the Mac as you normally would to see if the issue occurs again. You can tell when the Mac is in safe mode because on the desktop it will show the words Safe Boot in the top right-hand corner of the screen.
Take care

I'm pretty sure that what was causing this was that I had album cover screen saver turned on, and even though I wasn't conscious of touching any of the album via the touchpad, I must have inadvertently triggered the music to play. I turned off the album cover screen saver and haven't had the problem since.
