I've never had anything start playing when I plug in earbuds. I had to travel in my job a few years ago and we would rent a car, and most of those were newer cars and I noticed that the ones that had the USB port double as a connection to the speakers as well as providing power would start playing music automatically. I think that is some mysterious function of those units. Once I discovered that, I just made sure I was ready to stop it as soon as it started.
As for the pausing a bard book and waiting too long and ending up with music, I don't have an answer other than having to go back to bard on the phone and manually start the book. If it is a real annoyance, I would report it both to apple and to NLS. Richard Ralph's Observation: It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a hurry.

Hoping someone can save my sanity. I rarely listen to the very few music files on my phone. I don't want to delete them, but I get really annoyed how they often actually start playing. For example, if I'm listening to a book on BARD, I can use the remote on my earbuds to start and stop the book, But if I wait just a bit too long, then press play, music will start playing. Also, each time I plug in my earbuds or a USB cable in our car to play a book through our car speakers, music is the default and starts blaring. If I'm listening actively to an Audibl book, that will be the default thing that plays sometimes, which can mean I miss part of the book if I wasn't aware it started playing. Is there any way to change this default with the media control? If so, is there a trade off to doing so, given that I rarely listen to music? Using iPhone SE 2020 with IOS 14.4.
