No, the Windows 10 upgrade was "Free", but I was talking specifically about Windows 8 with regards to ads in the O/S.

The music app comes with the O/S, and is the default registered music player, for all intents are purposes, it's part of the O/S, and it's ability to inject ads into the start screen (as well as the Games widget, and Store widget doing the same thing) are just more of that.

There isn't any "ads" in the music app. Don't know where you saw this, but it wasn't in the built-in Music app in Windows 10.

Are you referring to live tiles? I think they can be disabled.
