What is the difference between many and much?

The most accepted version is to distinguish between countable and non-countable nouns.
La versin ms aceptada es distinguir entre sustantivos que se pueden contar y aqullos que no.

I am not totally convinced with such an explanation.

I think there is a more simple and accurate way to do so.

The best way is to use many for plural nouns.
