Bluetooth remains an 'unusually painful' technology after two decades

This is the real issue. Apple Music being a firm default. The U2 thing can be deleted from Apple Music. It exists because it was released that way a decade or so ago. It got pushed into everyone’s playlist as a purchased album, but can be deleted. I have no music at all in Apple Music for this reason. I prefer silence over this.

My problem is that I have to turn off BT on my phone for various reasons. Yet, no matter what, when I start my car it turns back on my phones BT setting and reconnects. (Eg. If my wife is playing her phone, then we stop for an errand, and get back in it always goes back to my phone.)

It's why I have NO music on iTunes.

Did you hear that, Apple? I will never give you money for music, ever ever, as long as connecting to a car == play iTunes.

You can delete Apple Music from your phone, but that can break BT Audio playback on some devices.

Nice, thanks! I'm going to try that. I feel like I tried once and it used to be undeletable; probably long time ago.
