How do I stop Apple Music from automatically opening on my Mac?

If you don’t use Apple Music it can be infuriating when it keeps opening when you press the media control keys on your Mac keyboard or the play/pause button on your Airpods. Spotify users will know all about this. If you want to stop this from happening, open up a terminal window and enter:

Zsh

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.rcd.plist 2>/dev/null

Problem solved!
