How do I change the default Player in the control point?

I absolutely do not understand how to change the default player in the control point. I searched through all the settings. Why can't I start music in spotify or any other program when I start my Mac without opening the program itself?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

You can't change it. It only works with the Music app.

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 ^ ^ ^ Note: The box is checked. Is anybody else having this problem ? What's the solution ?

Change "Open With" default... mine is greyed out I have researched and found many standard answers of "Get info; Open with; Change all". Anytime I open an audio file it defaults to Music, which is not the best option for my work. When I click GET INFO, the OPEN WITH option is MUSIC and it is greyed out preventing me from changing it. I do have the lock at the bottom UNLOCKED and I am the admin with read and write permissions. Any idea how I can change this default? Thanks MacBookPro 2018 Big Sur 11.2.3

Spotify starts up automatically - but I cannot change that? After restarting my computer Spotify starts up automatically. The program is not shown in users - login items. There is no setting in the Spotify app I can change. The are no files related to Spotify in the User Library --> LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons. I also tried by rightclicking the icon in the Dock --> Options, switching "startup after login" on and off and restarting. Annoys me that I have no control over this app. How can I stop Spotify form starting up automatically? My OS is Big Sur 11.2
