As you mention yourself, you don't get the same from playing the music as others do. For all but professional musicians, it's a hobby - just like some people like building cars, or program, or do woodworking, or a million of other things that require skill and experience to achieve mastery. And this mastery requires a creativity that computer do not have, and in my opinion, will never get unless we come up with a radical new computation model. The satisfaction you get from sitting down, and play some music that express your current emotions exactly, or the emotional state you'd like to be in, is just great. I played the piano as a child, and for reasons out of my control I stopped, and have never really been able to pick it up again. I still hope I will some day - just have to sit down and play on that piano I have.
