It won't validate as HTML either. The W3C frames code and the frames
code used by browsers have some fundamental differences.

Your options are:
a. Don't use frames
b. Use frames and accept the borders
c. Use frames, get rid of the borders and accept that it won't
validate, and thus accept that your site is not written in HTML/XHTML.
d. Write your own custom DTD with border and validate against that,
and accept that your site is not written in HTML/XHTML.

Won't make any difference.

You'll have exactly the same four choices with HTML 4 as with XHTML 1.

[...]
<frame src="music.asp" name="music" scrolling="no">
<frame src="home.asp" name="content" scrolling="auto">

Don't you mean />?

Or at least ></frame>?
