Morphology
The meaning 'a person who enjoys listening to music' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'music' (organized sounds) with 'lover' (enthusiastic admirer). This simple noun+noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern in English and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
Music lover is a simple compound that paints a clear picture: music is the sound and lover is someone who loves it, like a person who always chooses music. So it means 'a person who enjoys listening to music or going to concerts'.
