Is possible to disable Apple Music auto-loading?

my device (MacBook Air) constantly auto loads Apple Music mostly while in the middle of something important, but not sure why, I have never signed into it and have no intension of doing so, not a big Apple fan but need to use the device as is, I would love to disable the pesky program. any ideas?

Hey Xanderbbb,


We'll be happy to help you perform the steps to prevent the Music app from loading automatically. Follow the steps quoted below from this resource Open items automatically when you log in on Mac - Apple Support. Once you do this for the Music app, it should stop automatically loading.


"Add or remove automatic items

  1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click General  in the sidebar, then click Login Items on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)
  2. Do any of the following:
    • Add a login item: Click the Add button  below the list of items, select a document, folder, app, server, or other item, then click Add.
    • Remove a login item: Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click the Remove button  below the list.
    • Allow apps to run in the background: Allow apps to perform tasks when the app isn’t open, such as checking for software updates or syncing data."


Take care!
