It is a quote from Saint Augustine - "He who sings prays twice". It is simply meant to describe the high place of music in worship.

Especially in Psalms , the composer would take the psalm(the prayer that David had to God) and make it into a song , so not only your singing a song, but you are singing a prayer

Well, in my case, it would be more than twice if I sang a prayer. Anyone withing a 50 ft radius would be praying for me to shut up

I've never heard that before, maybe it means that singing praise is twice as good.

You are worshiping as well as praying. Which many people often forget to do.

if you sing the rosary, it's going to be a hundred times more effective?

Sounds ridiculous to me. That would be repetition and God doesn't like repetition.

I don't know if it carries anymore weight but it does sound nicer :)
