For different people it's different scheme n length of time 2 overcome the habbit, nostalgia, peer pressure etc..

‘Music or Qur’an?’
The Noble Qur’an needs no introduction. It is a mercy, guide and protection for mankind.
It is also a powerful reminder, miracle and divine revelation. As the great scholar Ibn Qayyim said, “The Qur’an is all about tawheed”. And nothing should rank higher in terms of priority for the Muslim than upholding tawheed.
Music on the other hand is all about everything but tawheed. While you may still argue about the many benefits of music.
I present you with 12 simple truths to ponder.
1. Origin Qur’an:Speech of Allah.
Music:Created, reproduced and distributed by humans.
2.Theme Qur’an:Tawheed (Oneness of Allah), Aqeedah (creed), issues related to worship, eternal gains.
Music:The most common is lowly desires and worldly gains.
3. Benefit Qur’an:100% beneficial at all times, whether its being recited, listened to or pondered upon.
Music:Slight benefit for certain types and at certain times e.g., soothing music to calm down, motivational lyrics, etc.
4. Content Qur’an:Related to success in this world and hereafter; also related to virtuous character, good deeds and worship.
Music:Related to acquiring success in this world only; also related to corrupt character, alcohol, drugs, carnal desires and suicide.
5. Calling Qur’an:Invites to the sunnah, obedience, worship, guidance, good character, forgiveness, paradise.
Music:To a large extent, invites to sin and all things leading to possible sin (lowly desires, wealth, power, disbelief, nudity).
6.Goal Qur’an:Remembrance of Allah.
Music:Distraction from remembrance of Allah.
7. Production and Replication Qur’an:Has never been and cannot be produced. Allah challenged mankind in various verses to do so.
Music:Anyone can re/produce music. There are many courses, schools and experts dedicated to learning the art.
8. General Effect Qur’an:Gives soothing internal effects that are long lasting and soul nourishing; long term feel-good-effect.
Music:Gives an external soothing effect that is temporary; short term feel-good-effect.
9. Effect on Soul Qur’an:Pure nourishment for the soul through spiritual cleansing and purification.
Music:Junk food for the soul through lowering of spritual strength and draining the nafs.
10. Effect on Heart Qur’an:Builds a sound heart, free of diseases.
Music:Increases diseases of the heart, from doubts to desires.
11. Lifestyle Qur’an:Message can blossom subliminally into a positive lifestyle and a stable personality.
Music:Message can transform lifestyle into a negative one producing an unstable,corrupt personality.
12. Connection with Allah Qur’an:Makes one develop a high degree of consciousness of Allah, taking one closer to Him.
Music:Brings about ‘gaflah’ (heedlessness) of Allah, increasing attraction to musicians.
Way Forward The believer has apurpose driven life, seeking worldly good as well as eternal good. You may take various means and processes while seeking this good, striving to overcome your desires and remaining firm upon the truth. There is no doubt the Qur’an is the greatest personal development tool for mankind; driving self and spiritual growth, reinforcing the truth of tawheed, directing towards the fitrah and promoting self reflection.
”This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allah” (Al Baqarah, 2:2)
