The word is "philomel", a love of music. "Philomela" is a lover of music.

Forte is the only musical word I can think of that starts with an "F" and I wasn't about to get into the "Ph"...
Good question tho...it's driving me crazy...lmao
Richard - please list a source...all I'm coming up with for philomel or Philomela is a nightingale or the princess of Athens who was raped and had her tongue cut out and was turned into a nightingale to avenge...

This is the match I found for philomel, as love of music:
c.1385, from Gk. Philomela, poetic name of the nightingale, probably "lover of song," from philos "loving" + melos "song;" but perhaps "lover of apples" (Gk. mela). In the myth, proper name of Pandion's daughter, who was turned into a nightingale (Ovid).
Audiophile:
a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction.

are you perhaps thinking of Audiophile? It does not specifically relate to music, more generally to sound, but it is often used to describe people who collect music.

philharmonic ~ fond of music
Some orchestras include "philharmonia" in their titles but the word does not appear to exist in its own right. If it did, the meaning would probably be "fondness for music".

All I can think of are fond or freaked. I doubt if either one of these words are what you are after.
