Record Player

• Buy a record player. While some people believe that records are a thing of the past, many modern bands are putting out records as well as CDs. You can also find vintage records of bands from the past at thrift shops and record stores. Choose a vintage record player for him if he is into that kind of thing. If he prefers new technology, go with a new record player that he can plug into his computer and transfer his records to mp3 files so that he can also listen to them on his mp3 player or CDs.
  
  

Instrument

• Many music-loving men enjoy playing music as much as they like listening to it. Purchase an instrument for him, such as a guitar or a saxophone, depending on his preference. If he already has an instrument he loves, choose an accessory for it, such as a case or new strings. Another idea is to choose a book filled with sheet music of songs he likes so that he can learn some new tunes.
  
  

Book or Magazine

• Help him learn more about the music that he loves with a book. Choose a nonfiction book about his favorite band or singer so that he can read about behind-the-scenes details. You could also choose a book about a genre of music or a significant era of music. You could also choose a subscription to a magazine devoted to music so that he can learn about the newest trends and bands as they are happening.
  
  

MP3 Gift

• Some music-loving men might be more into the digital music revolution. When you are shopping for someone who would rather listen to his music through a computer or an mp3 player, consider choosing a gift card for mp3 downloads. Another idea is a set of speakers for his mp3 player so that he can listen to it in his home without his ear buds. You can also purchase car accessories that allow his mp3 player to play through his car speakers.
