Disable Suggestions in Playlists Mac OS Sequoia

Ok, when I create a playlist manually in the Music app in Sequoia, it automatically adds a bunch of nonsense to the bottom about suggestions and other stuff I don't want there. I want ONLY the songs I add to the playlist, and nothing else, and I definitely don't want it to start playing something else automatically when the playlist/album is over. The new Music app is ridiculously complicated and bloated, and I really miss the old iTunes. If this feature can't be disabled, then I'll have no choice but to find a replacement player. I have Plex, so maybe I'll just use it exclusively. But I've been a committed, loyal Apple user for decades, and this is beyond irritating.


Also, when I go into an Artist, manually select a bunch of songs, then click File>New>Playlist from Selection, it doesn't just add what I selected, it adds EVERYTHING from that artist. Beyond annoying. Please advise, because I'm ready to move on, and it seems like a great many people feel the same way. Stop making things so counterintuitive and unnecessarily bloated and complicated, Apple. It's supposed to be a MUSIC player. Why does it need all this extra garbage? I really miss the old iTunes... as clunky as it could be sometimes, it was INFINITELY better than this.
