An adjective clause could be replaced by an adjective (e.g. 'unpopular') and an adverb clause could be replaced by an adverb (e.g. 'supremely')
Explanation:
Remembering that an adverb qualifies a verb, and an adjective qualifies a noun will help you to identify the difference between adverb and adjective clauses.
In the first case 'that nobody likes' qualifies the kind of music (noun) not the playing (verb), so it is an adjective clause.
In the second case 'that she would play the best' qualifies 'was confident' which is a verb.
