Apple Music continuing to play after playlist ends

After the 18.1 update when listening to a playlist in Apple Music when the playlist is over it automatically starts playing random songs that are not in my playlist.


I’ve seen a couple threads about this but nothing about a fix.


wanted to let everybody know that apparently Apple who always thinks they know what’s best for you even without asking you, has added a little feature called infinity. So where you would normally hit the little button on the bottom right of your player window to bring up the playlist order, where you select shuffle or repeat now there is a little infinity symbol on the right hand side. If you click that it will complete your playlist and randomly pick songs. If you deselect it your playlist will function as it always has prior to this update.


Thanks again Apple for always coming through and changing things that don’t need to be changed by adding features that nobody asked for just to try and generate attention for music that nobody cares about. Gotta love the entitlement.

As I recall, that feature has been around for a while. What happens sometimes is that when there's an update, some features get reset to defaults. I believe that's what happened in this case.
