Or delete the Music app… zero processes required.
Just uninstall it! Mac is simple if you know how to use it!

The triangle key opens a calculator and the square opens a terminal. What do you mean not everyone has the same keyboard???
Macs generally come with the same keyboard, though.
I use the built-in `hidutil` utility to remap F3-F9 to my preferred keys. F3/F4 are remapped to the keyboard backlight brightness. F5-F9 are remapped to be plain old function keys. This post has a lot of great info: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35555475 This is the mapping I use on an M1 MacBook: hidutil property --set '{ "UserKeyMapping":[ {"HIDKeyboardModifierMappingSrc":0x0000FF0100000010,"HIDKeyboardModif…

My mac opens Music for func + enter. Sometimes I accidentally have the function button held down as I hit enter. Then whatever app I’m trying to use to type loses its focus to this app I never use.
Yeah but does your Mac have a key combo to launch LinkedIn? Windows +1, Mac 0

I needed something like this a few months ago. I use my MacBook to run my (musical) keyboard rig for live performances, and use low-latency wireless headphones for monitoring. The headphones have a transmitter dongle that plugs into my laptop, and the dongle sends a "play/pause" command if I press a button on my headphones...causing Music to launch and begin playing audio out of my default output device. It doesn't e…
That'd be a terrifying setup for me as a live player! I'm curious where you found low latency wireless headphones though. Have a look at Loopback - very mature app now. I use this for doing live and studio routing, you set a live profile so that only your soft synths actually get an output and Music (and FaceTime, system, whatever) get sent to the musical equivalent of /dev/null. So an accidental press of "Play" has…
Loopback looks nice, but I prefer to keep the routing entirely within my DAW (or my interface where possible) to keep latency to a minimum, particularly since I'm already using wireless headphones that add 10ms latency.
Another mitigation I now have is to use an aggregate device that has BlackHole on the first two channels rather than the main outputs. That way, if I accidentally start playing audio, it gets harmlessly sent to the void; and it also means I can easily capture and forward it in my DAW if I actually want to play PC audio (for example, listening to a recording during a rehearsal).

Why vibe code anything? VLC would fit the bill. Even quicktime.
I think you must have very different needs if VLC is a substitute for iTunes/Music. For me, iTunes/Music is a music catalog app for managing my 9000+ MP3s with artists, album covers, playlisted based on various criteria, etc... where as VLC is an app for playing back single media files.
