I'm a bassist and after the first year of playing my penis disappeared.

No I don't think there's any scientific proof to this. I would say only things that are sad or depressing COULD drop your T levels.

The only downsides to music are 1. it might distract you 2. if you listen to it too much it will get boring after a while

So as long as you enjoy music and it doesn’t distract you I don’t see a problem

I don't know about lowering T levels but - despite the sarcastic comments to the contrary - in my personal experience consumption of music can certainly affect dopamine sensitivity. To a lesser extent, online music streaming works in the same as online porn: The novelty effect of endless unique stimuli necessitates ever more radical stimuli.

My recommendation would be to not listen to music when you feel you need to listen to music. This is your body unconsciously asking for a dopamine hit. I often feel an urge to put my headphones in when things get quiet at work, and I think this is partly an urge to "fix" that uncomfortable silence, and partly an urge to get a bit of dopamine flowing to alleviate boredom. You need a bit of boredom in your life, else eventually what you once considered fun or interesting becomes commonplace and subsequently boring. So I resist that urge until I forget about it, and feel comfortable working. Then I might listen to some music if I feel it would compliment (not change) my mental state.

Anyway, that's just my personal observations, maybe they will resonate with you?

Yes listening to music will lower your T dramatically.
