I will use us and this conversation as an example.
You and I are not "general" music listeners. We are passionate and are very opinionated about music. We go out of our way to voice our opinions about various topics related to music, songs, albums artists and pretty much anything related to music. We go out of our way to do this by going on message boards and engaging in other extra behaviors that an average casual music listener would not do. We are music enthusiastics.
A general music listener is someone who casually listens to anything at their disposal or anything that is easily accessible. They don't care enough to have an opinion about it and they are not interested in looking for music or other types of music. Listening to music that they have easy access to (i.e. turning on the radio in the car) is done out of convenience, not passion or extreme interest. They have little interest but its not enough to call them enthusiastics.
