Music is Randomly playing whenever I open Opera with no tabs open.
I'm not sure why but music has suddenly started playing whenever I use opera. At first I figured I had an open tab, but after closing all of them down the music persisted. I tried closing and restarting opera, followed by uninstalling and reinstalling it to no avail. It's rather frustrating cause I can find no way to remedy the situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.A bit more detail would help!
What music is it, if you can identify it, and is it always the same music?

It's something I had playing in youtube ages ago. It's always the same music. It only runs for about 11 minutes then stops.
Presumably it's playing from your disk cache in that case, although why it should is a great mystery!
Try uninstalling Opera again, and then search your machine for any folders with "Opera" in the name, and delete them (I assume you don't have any data in Opera that you need to preserve as you say you've uninstalled and reinstalled once already.)
That should definitely remove all Opera's cached files.
Reinstall it and see if the music has finally gone away!

Reinstalling sounds a little harsh. Let us take a step back and consider this...
Even when there are no pages open, you still have panels active, and the Speed Dial is usually active. I assume that Speed Dial wouldn't do this, but it is possible to drag a web page and convert it into a panel.
Go to the Appearance window and go to the Panels tab. The bottom part will show you where the panels will show up, and may help you find them if they're hidden. Once you've displayed the panels, you might find a YouTube icon there along with the usual simple Opera icons.
