This has been bugging me too, so thanks much for the info in the thread.
What I think has been causing this is that the music player is actually spawning a 2nd (undeletable) lock screen page. With the Samsung music player widget showing, swipe right and you go back to the Lock Screen #1, and there's the clock & Life Companion message. You can press on that home screen and go into page edit mode and even drag that page to a trash can at the top of the screen and delete it, but you can't do that on the music player's page. Even if you swipe down on the player and extend its widget frame, you just get an expanded song list, no controls or options, and no hot spots that will let you edit the page. If you turn on multiple widgets, then a third lock screen page is added with suggested shortcuts, which can be edited.
The dynamic second lock screen page seems to be the same behavior the default music app and amazon mp3 app have if you are playing a song when you lock the screen. Unfortunately in this case Samsung's program is auto-starting and offering up purchase suggestions to me. So, it won't go away, and I've gone ahead and disabled the item as noted above. Doing so prompted me to roll Samsung music back to the factory version. I guess this is an app that needs to not be updated again... ever.
On the other hand if you just needed to know you can swipe the music app and see the clock again, well, there you go.
