in most cases if you have an app in the background that plays music or podcasts, a magic tap (two finger double-tap) will default to the music/podcast player if no other app is using or calling for that function (such as answering your phone). you can usually just go in to your recent apps and kill off the music player, that *should* precvent it from starting playback when a magic tap is used again

i do like the other user's suggestion of deleting apple music unless that is your default music player. really glad apple allows for default apple apps to be removed, it was a real pain when you couldn't do that in the past

yes, it happens when you have a gesture that enables "magic tap/touch" make sure you go to VoiceOver settings, touch gestures, and change any custom touch gesture that activates magic tap.
