Why do humans enjoy music?
Are there any other animals who enjoy music?
Why do we get a rush of dopamine when we listen to a good piece of music? How has this been a evolutionary advantage?
Thanks (:

auditive pattern recognition is more precise because our auditive senses give finer quantized input (higher information resolution in a certain timeframe) than our visual sense, it lacks the depth of visual information though.
music tries to maintain a certain geometrical symmetry waveformwise to achieve pleasureable experience. aesthetics is tightly coupled with fractal symmetry, in laymens terms, even though some parts of a piece have an asymmetric or no structure at all, combined together they will become a ordered structure. which the listener can subcousciously recognize and with training can consiously recognize. (absolute hearing)
