Here's an unpopular opinion
Listening to an audiobook is not reading. There's nothing wrong with it — it's a perfect legitimate experience. But it isn't reading.

Correct.
Listening to music is not playing an instrument or writing the music.

@EBSVC I don't think either @DunningKruger or I were comparing creating a cultural object to enjoying / experiencing / "consuming" that cultural object.
Listening to music is consuming it in a very typical way which I realize is akin to listening to a book. In both cases, one can have a deeper connection to the cultural object by
‐ playing the music (if one can), or
- reading the real book (if one can).
