Ok, so, a lot of Brazilians make this mistake.
They come to me and they say "Hey, I like
6

00:30
this music." "Hey, what's your favorite music?"
And a lot of times they're not trying to say
7

00:36
what music really means.

Music is not countable in English. So, we
say music is like, you have rap music, rock

music, sertanejo music. But, when you're talking
about a specific 3 or 4 minute audio track,
10
44650

00:51
this is called a song, which is countable.

So, normally a CD has 12 or 13 song, but the
type of music, or the genre of music, is what
12
54440
7000
01:04
you like, the general style.
13

So, "what kind of music do you like?" "I like
rock music."
14

01:09
"What's your favorite song?" "Stairway to
Heaven."
