Also, ujm, I don’t know of any talmidei chachamim in America who are makpid on that psak of Rav Moshe. The rema allows music in siman 560 as long as it’s not during a seudah, and Rav Belsky held that the rema’s issur is only when it’s the kind of meal in which wine is served. Many restaurants are meikil with this even further, and while the hagaos mordechai would allow it, this seems to be a minority shitah – I’d apply ujm’s reasoning more to this case, where the halachik rationale is questionable, but if one needs it they have what to rely on.
