iTunes the application is free to use. If you want to buy a song or album through the iTunes Store you have to play. Apple also offers an optional music subscription service called Apple Music that gives you access to nearly everything in the iTunes Music Store to listen to as you please while your subscription remains active. If you don't want it then don't subscribe. If you already subscribed you can cancel the subscription. See How to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support.
