An arbiter local to here would say that you should take the point up with the arbiter, not your opponent. And you could expect the arbiter to rule that it is a disturbance if it has caused you to make a complaint. If he does rule it is a disturbance then that MP3 player is not allowed, but other quieter ones may be.
