Prevent a song from playing in Music on Mac
You can set Music to ignore certain songs in your library and never play them.
In the Music app
on your Mac, click Songs below Library in the sidebar.
Deselect the tickbox next to the song.
If tickboxes to the left of the song titles aren’t displayed, choose Music > Settings, click General, then make sure “Songs list tickboxes” is selected. See Change General settings.
Important: Deselecting a song’s tickbox removes the tick from the song in all playlists.
