I don't want to automatically add or play mp3 files to Apple Music when downloading

I'm on 12.0.1, when I download mp3 files from safari, it automatically adds and plays(!) mp3 files I download in Music/Apple Music. This occurs even when I download directly into a podcast app folder on iCloud. It play automatically when the download finishes, without any input from me (aside from downloading the file).

How do I get it the stop? I don't see anything in Music or Safari settings to stop this.

Jakyland,

It is a setting in Safari. On the Safari Preferences page, General tab, uncheck "Open safe files after downloading."
