Prevent Music app from launching

Apple's Music app launches itself and starts playing music under some conditions - having Bluetooth speakers connected? I forget what the conditions are. But since Apple, in its increasingly fascist way, prevents us from deleting the app from OUR computers, someone once posted a procedure on here for changing the name of the app so it would no longer auto-launch. Can anyone tell us how to do that on macOS 12/Monterey?

Thanks in advance!

Where has the Apple Music AirPlay icon gone in Ventura update? Since updating to Mac Ventura (13.0.1) on my MacBook M1 Pro, the AirPlay icon in the Apple Music app, (the one that appears next to the volume controls at the top), no longer appears. How can I play my Apple Music on my Bluetooth device without outputting my entire Mac's sound? Never had this issue until the moment I updated. Has it moved somewhere else, or has the most useful feature in Apple Music bizarrely been removed?? Any help much appreciated.

Can no longer control Sonos from my MacBook Pro The Sonos app on my MacBook Pro (Ventura 13.0.1) no longer works properly to control my in house Sonos speaker system. After years of controlling from my Macs, I now can't operate the system. The bad performing Sonos app says a software update is needed, but when I attempt that I get many repeats of Error - Try Again Later. After many attempts I went to the tried and true procedure of uninstalling the app, with the intent of re-installing it. Surprise! The App Store no longer carries the Sonos app for Macs. So, I can't re-install the app I just dumped. What's up? Has Apple gotten out ahead of Sonos with its latest macOS update? And so also removed the app from the App Store because it won't work? Or is there some other fix for this that I haven't found yet? (I can easily control my Sonos system as before with all of my iOS devices)

Tesla Apple Music integration In the last Tesla software update, Apple Music integration has been added. However explicit content cannot be played although I have it allowed on every device of mine and even on Apple Music website. Anyone has any idea how to toggle explicit content filtering off?
