Definition
百听不厌 is a four-character idiom (成语) meaning 'never get tired of hearing it a hundred times' — used to describe a song, story, piece of music, or someone's voice that is so enjoyable you can listen to it over and over without getting bored. The literal breakdown is 百 (hundred) + 听 (listen) + 不 (not) + 厌 (tire of). It's a set phrase, so you don't change the word order or insert other words.
f.e.
never get tired of hearing (a song, story, etc.)
