Music is able to enhance your meditation or Yoga practice, but it cannot replace it. Music is vibration, just like chanting mantra.
Certain frequencies of sound can be used to induce feelings or even guide the mind to trance states, or guide ones attention or focus towards specific Nadis or activation of the chakra's, etc.
In that sense music is beneficial and also powerful, however it does not build power for a person and cannot replace meditation or Yogic practice. Fundamentally it is an external boon rather than something that comes from within.
External influences can benefit a person greatly, such as states of higher consciousness induced by the Gods during meditation, but these are impermanent as they are externally induced by outside influences, at best these can be used to guide a person on various levels, they cannot build power or lead to advancement.
Certain kinds of frequencies or music can make one involuntarily want to get into Yoga asanas or perform movements akin to chi-gong or kundalini Yoga, as the sound frequencies resonate with the Nadis and parts of the soul where these asanas or movements relate to.
In this way music can be one of the most powerful tools or boons one can use to enhance their practice or guide their mind.
A powerful meditator that has great experience with music and sound frequencies and how these affect the mind and soul can help other meditators progress their practice by the proper use of their knowledge on sound and vibration.
However, this can never replace meditation and yoga practice and can never lead to permanent empowerment on it's own.
It also isn't necessary in any way to rely on or use this external stimulation to obtain real power and advancement.
True power and advancement comes from the fruits of labor produced by ones own will and work.
