The ability to have music on and still ride isn't about ability, it's about how it affects your concentration.
For example, I have been known to be an absolute loony while listening to music, but then, earplugs have the same effect on me.
When I'm on a longer journey the main problem is my mind wandering far too much and I get hypnotised by the white lines; since this is obviously a bad thing, I tried listening to music and found that while listening to music I knew well and it helped keep me alert on the really long journies.
