Is Music Haram?
Musnad Al-Bazzar 7513
Two voices are cursed in this world and in the Hereafter: a flute at a time of celebration, and wailing at a time of calamity
Hadhrat Abu Musa Ash’ari (radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “Whoever listens to the sound of singing, he will not be given permission to listen to the (beautiful) voices of the Ruhaaniyyeen in Jannat.” When it was asked: ‘Who are the Ruhaaniyyeen?’ Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “The Qaaris of Jannat.” (Kanzul Ummaal) In his Tafseer, Imaam Qurtubi comments: “We have mentioned this Hadith in Kitaabut Tathkirah along with other similar examples. Thus, he who consumes wine will be denied the pure drink (of Jannat) in the Aakhirah. He who wears silk will not wear silk in the Aakhirah, etc.

Hadith narrations should not be understood in isolation. They must be interpreted in the light of the Quran, their historical and textual context, and by corroborating them with other narrations on similar topics. We have recorded extensive sessions presenting our perspective on music, in which we have discussed all the authentic (Sahih) Ahadith related to this subject and explained their context and relationship with the Quran.
Music, in itself, is not inherently Haram. However, if it includes elements of polytheism (shirk), indecency (fawahish), or other ethically objectionable content, then such music would be considered prohibited. For a detailed explanation of our viewpoint, please refer to our recorded sessions below:

The first narration is weak
قال الغماري :«سنده غير صحيح». [المداوي لعلل الجامع الصغير وشرحي المناوي (4/ 343)]. وأعله بمحمد بن يونس الكديمى. وضعفه العدوي مع بعض الباحثين [سلسلة الفوائد الحديثية والفقهية (3/ 18)].
The second is fabricated:
قلت – أي الشيخ الألباني – : وهذا موضوع آفته (حماد بن عمرو) – وهو: النصيبي – ، قال الذهبي في “المغني” : “روى عن الثقات موضوعات ، قاله النقاش ، وقال النسائي : متروك” .

Hadhrat Ibn Abbaas (radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “I have been sent (by Allah Ta’ala) to destroy the musical drum (tablah) and the flute.” (Jam’ul Jawaami’) The tablah and other forms of musical drums are not to be confused with the duff for which there is limited permissibility.
Hadhrat Ibn Abbaas (radhiyallahu anhu) narrated that Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: “On the Day of Qiyaamah, Allah Azza Wa Jal will proclaim: “Where are those who had protected their ears and their eyes from the musical instruments of shaitaan?” (Allah Ta’ala will instruct the Malaaikah): “Separate them (from the multitudes of people).” They (the Angels) will separate them, and have them seated on dunes of musk and ambergris then Allah Ta’ala will say to the Malaaikah: “Recite to them My Tasbeeh and My Tamjeed.” The Malaaikah will then recite to them with such beautiful voices, the likes of which no one had ever heard.” This Hadith has been narrated by Allaamah Ibn Hajar Makki from Dailmi. The Sahaabi narrating it is Hadhrat Ibn Abbaas (radhiyallahu anhu). Allaamah Ali Muttaqi also narrates this Hadith, but from the Sahaabi, Hadhrat Jaabir (radhiyallahu anhu)-Kanzul Ummaal. Allamah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Maghribi narrates this Hadith from Hadhrat Bin Al-Munkadir (Jam’ul Fawaaid). Imaam Tha-aalabi also narrates it from Muhammad Bin Al-Munkadir, but from Ibn Wahab. (Jawaahirul Hassaan) Those who indulge in the haraam music and singing of this world, will be denied the music of Jannat.
what about these 2 hadiths about music?

Please provide the full references.
The hadith experts believe that there is no sahih or authentic hadith that prohibits music.
