Can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of the music player on the lock screen. Even with no music playing it’s there. Anyone else seeing this? http://tinypic.com/r/10ghbgh/9

I think I have a solution (it worked for me at least).
Try this:
"Settings"
"TouchID&Passcode" (enter your passcode)
Scroll down to "Today View"
Turn the lever/switch to "off"
Close settings
Lock screen
Hope this works for you folks. I was glad I did not have to "reset all settings" as Apple Tech Support suggested.

Settings.
Siri and Search.
Under “Siri Suggestions”, uncheck everything(turn everything off- no green showing).
Then scroll down and find the Music icon.
Under “On Home Screen”, uncheck everything

This worked for me. Weird, because I don't use Siri. Turning it off took the Music widget off the locked home screen. This is a problem that Apple should fix. It is annoying. When it was on the locked home screen, Music would play whenever I got into my car.
No reason to pay to be annoyed.
I've tried this about a dozen times now & every time it has worked perfectly for me. I simply shut off WiFi from the Settings app, not the Control Center & leave it off for about 5 minutes & when I turn it back on, the lockscreen music player widget is gone. I've even watched as the widget simply disappeared from the lockscreen.
I'm guessing that there is a timeout limit and since WiFi is off & no connection can be found to an AirPlay device, it simply times out & disappears. I've experimented with shorter time lengths, but 5 minutes or more seems to be the magic number for me.
I know this is still not a real solution & it's still a slight nuisance, but, at least for now, I think we have a temporary fix.
Please let me know if this "solution" works for you guys as well. Enjoy!

Just got updated to ios15 and this was the culprit for me.
Is anyone else having an issue with Apple Music saying it’s playing on the setting page?? (Like the page you go to turn wifi on without going into settings) It’s super annoying for a person with OCD to open music just to close it to get rid of the thing. It never did it with Spotify. And it will pop up there hours from the app being shut Off…. And hard and soft booting it doesn’t help. Ugh.
hey! the answer to your question is not what you think. it actually has to do with siri and search. and this allows it to stay on your lock screen! just go to siri and turn it off.

Searched for hours for this one single comment. Updated to iOS 15 and ever since then, every time I’d connect to the BlueTooth in my car I would get a widget showing on my Lock Screen of music and podcasts. It’s been driving me absolutely nuts. I’d rather just connect, and then manually pick what I’d like to listen to without having suggestions.
Hopefully, this “trick” will help. It’s the only thing I’ve read in the last few hours that makes any logical sense. So thank you SSimmons for saying to check Siri (which I’ve disabled the main function).
I removed the app Music and restart iPhone.
I am not a fan of Apple, and just started using it with iPhone 6S for office purposes. I was having the same issue. Here's what I did: Firstly, closed all the running apps from the background by double tapping the home button and then swiping up. Secondaly, opened Safari, and closed all the running Tabs, and then closed Safari by following the step 1 again. Last and final step, opened the Music app, and fully closed it again. And that's all. The Music Widget is now magically gone from my lockscreen. I hope that it works for other people too!
Had same problem but this worked for me. At your home screen, click the gear icon (settings) to visit device settings. Then what you have to do is open the notifications tab. You have to find and click on Music and slide the notification toggle to disable it. Restart your iPhone after doing so and the music app lock screen problem should be fixed easily.
I Had the same problem on my iPad. I followed Nana24's steps and solved the issue. Thanks !!
