Need Help to Disable Autoplay

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities fisli,

The Autoplay icon may appear grayed out, if you're not currently subscribed to Apple Music.

If you are a subscriber, you'll need to be actively playing a song to access the Playing Next queue and the options found there: Use the Playing Next queue in Music on Mac

That being said, the following steps can help you increase the amount of time songs fade out at the end, which may be helpful:

1: In the Music app  on your Mac, choose Music > Settings, then click Playback.

2: Select Crossfade Songs.

3: To change the amount of time it takes for the current song to fade out at the end and the new song to fade in, drag the Seconds slider.

Cheers!

Lengthening the crossplay is no help, when running music for a church service. Why can't I disable for good the autoplay feature like was able to be done in iTunes? Why does autoplay reactivate itself when I start a new song. This is BS and I'm ready to go to a Windows machine so that I can use iTunes.
