IMO though, you're confusing feeling peaceful, or get into an alternative state of mind, with some things I've found useful exclusively from meditation.

The meditation I've practice specifically is designed to make me aware. Aware of my true motivations for doing things, aware of why others act the way they do, aware of the present moment (this is probably what you're referring to, right?), and aware of society.

Being present and "in the zone" I've experienced from playing an instrument as well, and also from working with computers and coding. But it is only a small piece of what meditation aims to do. Meditation can be used to specifically break down the logical points of a situation.

In a TRP context, I find this extremely helpful. I have trained myself less attached to my emotions. That itself is extremely useful and practical.

The Dalai Lama was asked how to deal with someone you are afraid of losing or obsessed with (oneitus?), and he responded that you should think about all their flaws. Logical thoughts like that help punch through the B.S. that females have thrown at me and logical points like that has come from his extensive meditation practices.

In fact, letting my mind wander during a meditation session is nice and peaceful but actually goes against my goals. I have to make an effort to let go of the wandering thoughts and snap back to the present moment.

I'm not disagreeing with you choosing one activity over another, or the fact that meditation may not have been as helpful to you as music. Just clarifying from my understanding and experience.
