Hi,
"Would like" is more formal(polite) than "like",which is more friendly.
Besides,we can use "like+ing" when talking about our habits or smth we enjoy doing.
I like watching TV at/on weekends.

We learn it this way:
I like doing something - in general, like in 'I like music.' or 'I like listening to music.'
I like to do something - in particular situations like in 'I like to listen to music when I am all alone.'
- when you think it's a good idea to do something. 'I like to go to the dentist's once a year.' (Do you really like this? I don't. :) )
Would like is a modal expression, expresses your wish or preference (now or in the future).
