If music is haram, what do you do with musical instruments? And what about music you hear unwittingly?

In many sources is mentioned that instruments or making music is unlawful but there are opposite ideas too. For example here. So assuming the discussion concludes in the result of music being haram; 1) What to do with the instruments at home? Throw them away like alcohol or can they stay just there untouched (except occasional dust cleaning). 2) What to do with music you hear unwillingly at work/in the market/on the street etc. Should we really put our fingers into our ears? (Which is very difficult if you have a hijab on your head btw.)
