Stop Apple Music from playing after MP3 download.

Hi - for some reason the forum would not let me reply to the message I saw about this issue. I just got off a chat with Apple Support and there is a fix: go to Safari - Settings - General and at the bottom of the window there is the option to uncheck "Play safe files..." When I did this, Music stopped automatically opening and playing the mp3 files downloaded.

Apple Music opening randomly - why? and how do I stop it? Apple music keeps opening at random. This happens periodically, meaning that there have been periods over the last few years when it frequently opens. For the last 24 hours the problem has started again ,and with maddening frequency. Sometimes it opens again as soon as I close it, sometimes it takes 10 or 15 minutes before it opens again. Things I have already done: checked that Music is not set to open at log in (it is not) installed another music player in hopes that it would become the default completely decoupled Music from any libraries so that it opens quickly instead of hanging the entire system while it opens What can I do to prevent Music from opening automatically? Or how can I uninstall Music?

How do I delete 'undefined' albums and songs from music.apple.com that keep reappearing? I need help, as you can tell my music app (music.apple.com) isn't working correctly?! I wish to delete these albums, and or songs. However as you can see it's not allowing me to. They're all saying "undefined" and not displaying any Album Art, etc. Is there any way I can remove them? I've tried deleting them multiple times, however when I refresh Safari, the Albums and Songs are back again. This is incredibly frustrating. Please help! Any and all suggestions are appreciated, thanks. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: I need help!

Hank,

Yes, thanks for posting. That question comes up here every so often. The option to play files automatically when downloaded is an option in the browser (e.g. Safari), not in Music/iTunes.
