Is it possible to find a job in music without being able to play instruments?

I am one of those people who listens to all kinds of music and knows about underground bands that no one has ever heard of, and i’m good at editing tracks so they fit with an image and whatnot. Can I get a carreer involving music such as a producer or film composter without necessarily being able to play an instrument? If so, what would I do in college to prepare for this career (school of music, music business, etc)

Yes. Have you thought about majoring in musicology? That entails many aspects of the music business without performing. Look for schools that offer that program. Good luck!

No school of music will accept you if you are not a musician. With sound underlay you are really talking about film editing, not music. If you want to produce, you need to go to business school or law school.
