This is a question, not a bug report. I hope that's fine.
In addition to using noTunes, I unloaded remote control daemon (via launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.rcd.plist).
If I remember it correctly, using both makes sense. By unloading remote control daemon (rcd), the Music app oftentimes doesn't even get launched (so there's no "Dock hopping"). noTunes, on the other hand, quickly kills the Music app if it is launched by an event that has nothing to do with rcd.
I'm wondering now if this is correct, i.e. if there are in fact non-rcd-related events that lead to unwanted launches of the Music app. If yes, what are these events?
(I'm aware that unloading rcd, unlike using noTunes, disables the media keys. This is fine for me. I'm trying to understand if using both methods at the same time actually makes sense.)
Edit:
As far as I can tell, the virtual media keys (Control Center) are not covered by unloading rcd. That's enough for me to keep using both methods simultaneously. I'm going to ghost-mode now. Feedback on this is still much appreciated, though.
