I don't feel like anyones done a decent job of explaining but heres in a nutshell:

You don't have to play music to be a music lover, but when you learn an instrument, you can appreciate it better and unless you are obssessed - you very rarely become a bitch about the music you listen to, and if you do pick out the crappy technicalities, its fairly easy to overlook it or just change songs if you just don't like it. Orchestral pieces, more compositional pieces and music in general has a different (in my case more appealing) sound to it after you learn an instrument or 3.
