If I understand correctly, I don't think JoWilli is commenting on whether or not music should be played in local meetings but how it is used. In the Bible it was often part of celebrating the goodness of the Lord, and that is absolutely right for today. The problem is that music is very often used in meetings to create the type of atmosphere that leaders want and I'm not sure why people would consider this to be necessary. If such a use is not outright unbiblical then it is at least a very a shallow and superficial use of music. In other words, JoWilli is making a point that I very much agree with.
