Hi, thank you for your feedback!
If the unit starts up and automatically enters the music player, it’s likely due to the system’s last state memory feature — it restores the app or screen you were using before shutdown for your convenience.
If you’d prefer it to start on the home screen every time, please check if there’s a setting like “default startup page” or “clear background apps on boot” (this may vary by system), or manually return to the home screen before shutting down.
Let us know your system version if you need help locating the exact setting — we’ll be happy to assist!
