Did you try the site with JAVA scripts
disabled? The site may not be useable, or fully useable, but you may be
able to do what you want on it. You can cause the music not to play in
various ways as well, while having JAVA scripts enabled. the choice is
not between an add blocker or no add blocker. there are other ways that
may result in making difficult sites, because of advertising, reasonably
useable.

The question these days is will the ads be blocked in such a
way as to still
allow access to the site. Many now seem to be able to see
you have an ad
blocker and will not let you in till you turn it off or
grease their palm
with pieces of eight!
Now I'd be happy
to turn them off, but the big problem I'm sure we as blind
users
have is that a very accessible site can be rendered unusable by
stupidly
designed adverts. Yesterday I allowed them on one site to be
greeted by
loud music and scrolling rubbish neither of which seemed to be in
any way
letting me use the site. I'm sure its not deliberate but if you do
not take control of the advertising in the same way you do oas on
site
design, don't be surprised when blind people go
elsewhere.
