This is so surprising from a person who is on a linux mailing list: this 
is exactly the difference between "just open the exe file on windows" 
(mechanically do something that seems to 'get the job done' without 
trying to understand how it works) and try downloading the source and 
understanding how things work i.e. learnng.

Knowing the theory means helping to learn and understand what phenomena 
(physical, psychophysical, social, cultural) are behind the your 'music 
and emotion' thing - otherwise you are mystifying and turning music into 
black magic ;)

Well of course, put this finger on this fret and another finger on this 
fret :P (sorry couldn't resist).
