Lock Screen music widget doesn't go away

[pholz]

Hi,

Android v 4.3: When my Nexus 4 wakes up into the lockscreen after auto-sleep, sometimes there's the music widget controls above the unlock pattern area (instead of the DashClock widget). This happens irrespective of whether I've been playing any music with Play Music or Spotify. I just restarted the phone - no apps running, certainly no music playing, but still there's the ugly music widget on the lock screen. It only seems to happen when the phone sleeps for a while, I cannot reproduce it by simply pushing the power button to put the phone to sleep manually. Any ideas why this keeps happening?

This can only be triggered by a Music App, so make sure either Google Music or Spotify or some other media player has not gone rogue and opening up by itself. If you hit the 'Play' button, does it open any app? Then that's your culprit.
