About the word 'music'

Hi, there!

Please, which is the correct one?

1) In the sentence: " I love listen to musics", I suppose it's wrong to say this, isn't it? The correct should be: "I love listen to music" or "I love listen to songs", no? And by the way there isn't plural form for the word 'music', isn't it?;

2) "For different ages, there's a special music" (here I suppose the correct form is: "for different ages, there's a special song", because music refers to the style: rock, heavy metal, opera, while song is the music itself . Am I wrong?

3) "We all here appreciate Pink Floyd and Evanescence's music." (here I suppose the correct is: We all here appreciate Pink Floyd and Evanescence songs, without apostrophe's use . Or can I write ...Evanescence music?)

4) "They study hard at university." (I suppose it is : They study hard at the university);

5) When we know very well all the tasks(routine)of a job area, may we say: I know the duties of my area very well. (?)

Thanks,

Celine

Hi,

1) In the sentence: " I love listen to musics", I suppose it's wrong to say this, isn't it? Yes, it's wrong. The correct should be: "I love listen to music" Yes or "I love listen to songs", no? 'Music' does not necessarily involve a song. And by the way there isn't plural form for the word 'music', isn't it?;

I love listen to music?
I don't think so.
The correct thing to say is I love listening to music, or I love to listen to music.

"I love to listen to music" "I love to listen to songs"

And by the way there isn't plural form for the word 'music', isn't it?; Uncountable nouns can't be used in situations where a plural would be used. Some English words are the same for both singular and plural e.g.
