Stop Apple Music launching when bluetooth headset connects

Question

How do I stop Apple Music from launching whenever I connect a Bluetooth headset to my MacBook?

Background

I use a bluetooth headset for video calls using video conferencing software on macOS.

Whenever I end a meeting, with my Bluetooth headset still connected, Apple Music launches and tries to onboard me. My MacBook is a work machine and I don't want to launch Apple Music at the end of a meeting.

Apple Music is a required software component of macOS, so cannot be uninstalled.

Solution

Run the following terminal command to stop this behaviour.

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.rcd.plist

There are no settings or configuration options in macOS Monterey v12.6 to control this behaviour.
