Unwanted music playing

I just purchased a Mac Air M-2 and migrated everything from my old Mac without any problem. When I opened Music for the first time, a solo piano music started up that is not mine. It continues with many songs, all music, the quality of elevator music. I have no way to stop it. It over rides any video or my own music, and even plays blended in on those. I contacted Apple support this morning, and it took about a hour for them to get it to stop, but they had to have me start up in safe mode, then enter my computer to do it. After a re boot it was normal. Now this evening it has started up again. Do I need to return this Air or is there a solution?

So, if you get this issue when bottling up normally, then take this in for a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store. There, it will be diagnosed, and you'll be provided with your options.

About Booting in Safe Mode:

No. There is no need to return it, from what you've reported. It has been fixed via booting in Safe Mode. In Safe Mode, login items do not run, and corrupt system files(caches) are fixed.

"Unwanted music playing: Solution Found! I contacted Genius Bar by phone, explained my issue, and the guy asked me to open up Force Quit of programs. We went over the apps that were open and found that the Mah Jong app was the Cause/source of the music. Problem resolved. Thanks you support for a fast and easy answer.
