Which music are you referring to?
How many episodes of television still have people talking about it 50 years later? That's an accomplishment, even if the reason people are talking about it is it's cringe-worthy.
The general shape was used thrice in the remastering. In "Mudd's Women", it probably still lacked most of the detail, appearing only as a generic blurred shape where we can just barely make out the three cigars and the blue glow on the tail of the middle one. In "Operation: Annihilate!", the shape, probably again without detail, is the one-man spacecraft shown in the teaser. And in "Way to Eden", we finally see the fully detailed version.
We can make of that what we wish, including assuming different scales for the three different appearances (because the hippie Kleinbus may be a bit small for somebody hauling more than three frontier wives, and probably would need to be larger still for other types of freight), or claiming the three ships were identical. I sort of regret they didn't go the extra lightyear and have Sevrin's bunch properly flower-paint the ship they stole...

All of it.
But only the main title was re-recorded for the re-mastered version. The rock and roll jams should be the same.
The music sounds the same to me.

I mean the episode's background music. The music for all remastered episodes was re-recorded.
Nope.
They rerecorded the opening title, not the scores for the individual episodes.
When we say re-recorded, we mean performed by a new orchestra in 2006.
You must mean "they took a new pass at the studio elements to create the digital master." Which I'm sure they did, but that's a whole different thing.
Wait, Buck discoed in a few episodes.
"Free love" sounds nice until the kids start popping out and/or cooties start tunneling in, but at least they were more treatable back then, there's another revolution just waiting to happen... Were the hippies clueless or did they think social construct was set up as some sort of conspiracy theory thing as opposed to reality?

As I understand it, they were reacting to the relative conformity and puritanism of the 1950s, which had arguably swung too far the other way.
I don't know what that means, but of course, I mean the background music re-performed by an orchestra, and re-recorded for the episode.
Ah. That, they did not do.
However, it has been reported that the remastered DVD version of "The Menagerie Part II" has a couple of scenes where they substituted in music from Fred Steiner's Varese Sarabande CD. It's possible that the elements CBS was working from had damaged sound in those spots. Then, rather than find another source for the original music, they grabbed the CD.
Along with the La La Land 15-CD box set, I still play the four Royal Philharmonic CDs of TOS music. They're legit Star Trek music, and the stereo sound is a nice change. All of these titles can also be found as download purchases, or on streaming services like Spotify.

I personally live the episode, zany though it is, because it shows that not everyone in the TOS UFP wanted to live in a realm of improved humanity and technological near perfection.
What they would have made of them in TNG is another matter of course. Piccard would definitely be "Herbert", although Data might "reach"!!!

IDK - I thought the "Hippie" movement of the mid to lat 1960ies was in a way the evolution of the Beatnik subculture of the 1950ies:

I remember their announcing at the time that they were re-recording the old arrangements with a new orchestra. I can't remember if there were other things I heard in all the years since that reinforced this, maybe not, and maybe they ended up not doing that.
What I'm referring to may be something about the remastered versions that gives the music slightly less "punch", puts it slightly more into the background compared to the unremastered.
Well, it might sound a little different because the remastered DVDs had their sound re-assembled for modern TV sound systems. But only the main title was re-performed:
