I've been using this for a while now: https://github.com/tombonez/noTunes Source code for this one: https://github.com/FuzzyIdeas/MusicDecoy

noTunes is one of the first things I install on a new mac.

I'm very clumsy and I've never hit the play button by accident. What are you guys doing that makes it so easy to accidentally click the play button? Are you using the mac with the touch bar or something?

For me it mostly happens when I press play on my airpods. If they connect to my mac instead of my phone it opens up apple music if I don't have another media player open.

For me, this constantly happens:

- I'll pause a podcast I'm listening to on my iPhone or iPad, or just take my AirPods out of my ear for a moment

- Like 5 minutes later, I'll squeeze the AirPod stem to resume playback. It will instead think that I want to play Apple Music on my Mac for some fucking reason.

I don't think this behavior can be easily customized (somebody let me know if it can!)
