Al + infinitive usage

Is this sentence correct?
Leo una revista al escuchar la música.
I read a magazine while listening to music.
Or is using mientras better?
Leo una revista mientras escucho la música.

Should al + infinitive only be used as we use upon?
Upon looking out of the skyscraper's window, I realize that I am afraid of heights.
Al mirar por la ventana del rascacielos, me doy cuenta que tengo vértigo.
