If not, then what for?

It depends on the type of music. Old songs are for relaxation. Melancholy songs are for (apparently) reducing sadness. :P
Rock and roll is for getting enthusiastic and motivated. Rap is for getting hyper.
It is for relaxation, but pretty much depends on the type of music as I outlined.

Music is an art....like any art, it is beautiful and mesmerising.
Music can change your mood...it can help relieve stress, make you happy, make you feel energetic, relaxed,sleepy,etc..depending on the type of music as borakk mentioned earlier.
-
An art, and then?
A language too, can be?
-
Education, worship, healing... Got those just now.

Used to get you in the mood. Its an old way actually. People like music for just this - it helps them to be back in a good mood.
And good mood= feeling better = happy.
Though I can't understand this phenomenon myself. Music can never change my mood in any way. But it should apply to others, apparently.

Ofc. In war, you use the "music" of gunshot to communicate to other squads that battle started. :P
-
and then what? ::)
Very few understand the power of music.
What can language be? Elaborate please.

Not a big fan of music but surely it sometimes is used to make your mind relax.
When I dance ballet, I normally listen to piano or violin music and it is just so beautiful.
It depends on the type of music. Classic ones are for relaxation I believe but metal is for banging your head. :P
Soundtracks in movies make me cry. ::)

Language of peace... Of togetherness. Of compassion-- a way of asking for help. Like for Haiti it was.
Language of fear, terror, esp. in countries where people lack freedom.

Nice to see you post. :)
And yes, music is also used in India for plantations!

Hehehe... That was original! :D
And don't forget the music industry is worth well over billions.
-
metal is for banging your head. :P
*ahem* metal fan here ::)
ohkay...let me make it clear. Metal can be of different types. When metal started, there was no head-banging ::) From metal, over a period of years, new genres evolved, which involved using the metal base, but introducing some screaming and screeching ::) This is not pure metal...
If you like instrumentals, metal is divine :)

A business, an industry...
And what more can it be?
-

Business, industry, jobs, musicians, cassetes, CDs, DVDs, Hifi systems, Home theatres .........
And many more. :P

It can be for philosophy too. eg. melancholy songs, songs of lost love and other bla bla blahs. :P

I doubt music is an effective memory aid. It definitely doesn't assist me in my memory.

I can mug up the lyrics of a song but I can't do the same if I have to learn a history or physics lesson.
My teachers, while in igs, played this to us ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE6wqG4nb3M
I actually got the entire lyrics the third time I heard it... ;)

Music or Eminem more accurately has the ability to absorb Your sorrows and present it in a song with a Soothing background music.

That's rather emotional. Philosophy is understanding. ;)

Food chains. :D
Many teachers do that.
TBH, I always hate the slightest bit of sound when am studying, let alone music. ::)
I need only silence.

Emotions...
But what about OTHER uses of music?
Patriotism, why not? Everybody knows their national anthem, I guess? ;)

I listen to music purely when i am sad or when i need company

Does the word music come from muse-to reflect?

When you are sad or need company, silence too seems to be talking. ::)

From Greek ??????? (mousike), "(art) of the Muses."
Wow, you got it almost right. Except that Muses were some pack of 3 or 9 Goddesses. ;D ;)
