I don't think we know this one either, but Okrand makes a distinction 
between the verbs in TKW:

    The verb *Qoy* means "hear," not just "listen." One must actually
    perceive and understand that which is being said.

This doesn't tell whether one does *Qoy* or *'Ij* to music, but it 
implies that one can *'Ij* without actually*Qoy*-ing anything. *'Ij* 
seems to be the active attempt to detect sound; *Qoy* is the passive 
fact that sound has been detected.
