Why are minority opinions being brought up as being the stance of the madhahib? Clearly the OP is asking about the stance of any of the madhahib with regards to music. If you want to go down the route of minority opinion, know that there even exist minority opinions that allow consumption of any and all food that is consumed by the Ahlul Kitaab - yes, consumed, not just slaughtered. There are minority opinions about many things that some scholars of the past have come up with but is that what a layman should be following? He will most likely be jeopardizing his deen by delving into matters that he is not an expert on.

Brother Junaid, you should really reevaluate the reason why you bring up minority opinions to justify music. For example, you say that someone said that Imam Malik permitted music. But are these following statements not also attributed to Imam Malik ?
About singing: "In fact, that is done by the sinful ones."
At-Tabari said, "As for Malik bin Anas, he truly did prohibit singing and listening to it."
He also said, "If one purchased a servant-girl and found her to be a professional singer, he could return her to the original owner for reimbursement on the claim of having found fault in the merchandise."
Al-Qurtubi mentioned from Ibn Khuwayz Mandad that Imam Malik had learned singing and music when he was young. His mother encouraged him to leave it for studying the religion, after which he came to the conclusion that such things were prohibited.
Al-Qurtubi also said, "As for that which is done in our day, by way of the (blameworthy) innovations (bidah) of the Sufi mystics in addition to their hearing songs to the accompaniment of melodious instruments such as flutes, string instruments etc. such is haram (forbidden)."

In fact, you'll be hard-pressed to find any direct quote from Imam Malik that justifies listening to music. But you will find a lot to the contrary. Imam Ahmed reported from Imam Malik the hadeeth about music breeding nifaq in the heart.
