Why does iTunes launch itself and start playing music? - steve... - 06-20-2019
Ghosts?
I put my iMac to sleep while I ran an errand. Photoshop was the only application running. When I returned it was playing classical music from an album — 1st one in the artist alphabetical list. This is the second time it's happened.

Mine does it too. Something is triggering it. I've just been too lazy to investigate.

Me three.
It seems to have something to do with my AirPods.
I had previously synced them to my 27" iMac which is not my main machine.
After leaving the room, and coming back, the iMac wakes up and starts playing a song.
The first few times I'd put the iMac to sleep and it'd wake right back up in about 10-15s.
I disconnected the AirPods and it seems like that stopped it.

By default, iTunes launches when you connect an iPhone to your computer.
...Are you connecting your phone to charge it when you get home?
It'll also launch when any of the media-keys are pressed on the keyboard. The play/pause, forward and back function-keys.
...Dropping anything on the keyboard?

There are some weird file extensions that itunes claims ownership to that are used by adobe apps. I don't think there is a central place where ALL file associations are visible (anymore), but there must bea way to see them - get in there and change everything that isn't mp3 or aac (or whatever else you have itunes running) and kill the association.
Sorry to not supply better info - this is based on OS9 memory.

No iPhone connected and I don't remember touching any of the media keys, unless I accidentally bumped something when putting it to sleep.

No IR remote for the Mac but how about a garage door opener?

I'll have to dig around.
