Keyboard won't control Music app if Youtube in Safari is open
Found this article which suggests Mac Media Key Forwarder or BeardedSpice.
-
Does anyone know if this key pauses sound coming from all open app? Because for me, it only mutes the focused app but ignores Spotify running in the background. Is this the intended behavior?
Try this. It works great to tie that key to Apple music. Says it works for Spotify too.

Unix legend Ken Thompson announces he's switching From macOS To Raspberry Linux
I don't know the exact issues but might be related to the issues why I left Apple : I was developing a very successful little tool for MacOS ( https://github.com/milgra/macmediakeyforwarder ) which listened for keypresses. From 2016 to 2019 it became harder and harder to install it because apple added more and more restrictions to apps like this. By 2019, you had to enable the application explicitly to listen for events at least in three places deep down in the system preferences, click accept in various popups and if you stuck somewhere then nobody could tell why it wasn't working. So I had a very expensive laptop and the OS didn't let me use it freely. So I just switched to freebsd and linux, I don't have fancy productivity apps like photoshop and final cut but with open source tools and with my own desktop applications I created the best looking/most usable desktop experience MacOS will never have.

Make play/pause button default to music player?
Hello! Try Mac Media Key Forwarder I use it for the exact same reason.
- How do I stop headphone bluetooth controls starting / stopping media in Chrome / Safari and force them to only work with Apple Music / Spotify?

Discussion Thread
I like this app for fixing it. https://github.com/milgra/macmediakeyforwarder

Lock keyboard media keys to Apple Music, is there an app for this?
Here you go, I'm on an M1 MacBook Air 2020 and this works perfectly for me. It's called "Mac Media Key Forwarder"

Recommendation for macOS app that will increase the experience on macOS ?
Media Key Forwarder: lets you pause iTunes/Apple Music/Spotify when you hit the pause button. Apple, for unknown insane reasons, changed the pause button to pause front-loaded media instead of background music when I actually want to pause background music because I now want to watch something.

How to keep media keys fixed to the Music app with macOS Monterey?
I dislike the way how the media keys work on macOS by default. I used to use this app (https://github.com/milgra/macmediakeyforwarder) with previous versions of macOS, but it's no longer supported and its recommended replacement 'Bearded Spice' doesn't work on my computer. Is there another way to make those media keys work just for the music app?

Mac Studio M2 and 8k screen
Just wanted to put in a plug for the MonitorControl app. I just installed it, and it enables brightness control for the QN700B from Apple's keyboard. So great not to have to pull up any Samsung menus to adjust it.
