One of the reasons for the disagreements relating to music on Lag Baomer night is the thought behind what the day represents. Some opinions hold that we have to keep 33 days of Aveilus. On the 33rd day, we can say that half the day is considered as the entire thing, so we wait until morning. Lag Baomer’s function according to this opinion is just the end of the aveilus.
Another opinion is that Lag Baomer itself has a status of a quasi Yom Tov, where aveilus is forbidden. According to that opinion, you can listen to music at night.
