Remove Apple Music from MBP

Does anybody have experience with this and/or a good solution that you can use on a corporate MBP? I think it is really annoying that when you connect your Airpods or BT Headset the MbP somewhat forces you to listen to U2. :-(


An annoying workaround is to close Apple Music. However I want to have it removed from my corporate mbp...


thanks in advance.

Your tag line says that you are running macOS 15.6 (Sequoia).


If that is correct, I believe that means that you cannot remove the Music app. With a handful of exceptions, nearly all of the apps included with the purchase of a new Mac are stored on a cryptographically-signed "sealed system volume." The Mac doesn't even run directly off of it, but off a read-only snapshot.


This is part of the hardening of macOS against malware attack, but means that if you tried deleting the Music app, you'd probably find yourself blocked. Should you succeed in deleting the application, you'd cause your Mac to refuse to boot from the volume that had been tampered with in an unauthorized way.
