Thank you, this is a huge pet peeve of mine. I mis-click my airpod and suddenly this app I've never used and don't want launches

> this app I've never used and don't want launches

I'm by no way an Apple fan, but why not uninstall the app if you don't need it?

The same thing happens with iPhone and car bluetooth. It is super annyoing and many times, a podcast will be playing in the background while the car has FM/radio selected. This is incredibly frustrating and bad user experience. The worst part is it is not clear if this is Apple's fault or some buggy old firmware in the car's audio stack that is at fault (this happens consistently on 2017 Tesla Model S).

From TFA, via StackExchange:

    launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.rcd.plist
will quit the process responsible for the madness (rcd, the "remote control daemon").

You'll have to remember to re-load this thing if you want the default behavior. Or if you encounter other unexpected situations, to restore the default insanity.

It might be easier to run this app instead; then you have an icon in your GUI desktop environment and an app you can simply quit to restore defaults. Plus this app allows you to assign any app to the "Play" media event.

It cannot be uninstalled

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, 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!)

Just this week I was stuck in this state where my AirPods were receiving audio from the iPhone in my pocket (intended), but play/pause commands from the AirPods were sent to my Macbook in the other room.
