Actually some are Matir taking a haircut and listening to music tonight, and some even on day 32 after mincha. For example, I believe R’ Dovid Feinstein gets a haircut on 32 after mincha. However, before you quote me on that I would like to verify it, so if anyone knows if this is an absolute fact please let me know (I heard it from quite reliable sources but one can never be too sure). Also, if you have the Dirshu MB- Chelek 5 I know they bring down in Siman 493, around #21-23 or so, that some are Matir to take a haircut (and I would assume, also listen to music) on the night of the 33rd. Lastly, if you are Noheg Aveilus the entire Sefira besides 33 it should for sure not be a problem to get a haircut or listen to music at night, because you will get your 33 days anyway (I think Chasidim are Noheg like this- Minhag Ha’Ari and others). And besides, we always try to be melamed zchus for Klal Yisroel, so especially because the Meron celebrations are tonight I don’t think you are changing Minhag Klal Yisroel, but I do understand your Ta’anos.
