How to disable 'Up Next' in Apple Music?

When I click on a track in Apple music, I want to play that track AND ONLY THAT TRACK. If I wanted a party mix, I would create one myself.


When I am at a business meeting, and I am reviewing audio tracks for a project, I don't want Apple music to randomly blast a music track from my library after that track.


The only solution I have found is EVERY TIME I play a track, I have to click on Playing Next, Click the infinity icon, and then clear. Isn't there a check box I can click in the settings somewhere to disable this unwanted feature? This feature is the reason I eBayed my HomePod.


BTW, I have used iTunes, Apple Music since its inception, so I don't need Level 1 - 'This is how Apple Music works' links. Many thanks in advance.

Hello Anthony,


You're taking the right steps to stop Autoplay on your Mac: Use the Playing Next queue in Music on Mac


Which brings us to the fact that this may be happening due to other devices that may have Autoplay enabled (that are associated with your account). We'd check your other devices to ensure this feature is off: Add music to your queue to play next on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device


To turn Autoplay on or off, tap the Autoplay button the Autoplay button icon in the upper-right corner of your screen. If you turn off Autoplay on one of your devices, then Autoplay is turned off on any device that's signed in with your Apple ID.


If you turn this off on all your devices, it should stay off. If that is not the behavior you experience, then it would be best to connect with Apple Support directly: Get Support

They'll need to take it from here.



Wishing you well, take care.
