Also I'm really hating having to hear music in ads. There's lots of music in video's I already don't like, I don't want ad music in my head either, most of it is not what I like.

It seems Youtube has stopped doing add-blocker detection or Adblockplus has adapted. No more screens saying I'm using an add-blocker or ads showing.

That is also my experience, some weeks back I had a few nag screens for some days but they are long gone, I never disabled my ad blocker (ABP) and it still works fine in removing all the rubbish.

YouTube did something in the past couple of days which blocked access from JDownloader2, which relies on my session cookie to use my account, but JDownloader2 was updated and now it works again.

ABP is also getting more frequent updates lately though, so maybe they're also actively monitoring and adapting?
