×I love to listen to a music.

The word 'music' is usually an uncountable noun. We do not use 'a' or 'an' before it when referring to music in general.
×Turn off the music, it's too loud.
✓Turn off the music, it's too loud.
This sentence is actually correct. A common mistake is thinking 'the' is always wrong. Use 'the music' when referring to specific music that is currently playing or has been mentioned before.
×I downloaded many new musics.
✓I downloaded many new songs / tracks / albums.
'Music' is uncountable. To refer to multiple pieces, use countable nouns like 'songs', 'tracks', or 'pieces of music'.
×The background music are too fast.
✓The background music is too fast.
'Music' is a singular uncountable noun, so it takes a singular verb (is, was, plays).
×I listen music every day.
✓I listen to music every day.
The verb 'listen' requires the preposition 'to' when followed by an object.
×I enjoy listening to jazz music.
✓I enjoy listening to jazz.
While not strictly wrong, it is more natural and common in English to just say the genre name (jazz, rock, classical) without adding the word 'music' afterwards.
