In other words, is it a given that an advanced species would eventually invent music?
Would intelligent aliens have a form of music?

To answer this, one would need to know why it is that humans like music. What did we evolve into a species that has very strong and visceral reactions to hearing sounds arranged in a certain way?
I honestly don't know the answers to those questions, but I think they are really really interesting questions.

Ha!! fricking nerd.
To answer the OP, only figs like music so if you think being a fig is "evolved" then yeah it's "inevitable" or whatever.

I was actually just googling around on it and found a few technical journal articles.
Thrills, chills, frissons, and skin orgasms: toward an integrative model of transcendent psychophysiological experiences in music
Why does music make us feel
