I get great ideas for new songs from my musical hallucinations. I hear music in my head sometimes, especially when there is a distant background noise that I can't quite make out. Without any other bad symptoms going along with it, I don't view this as a problem. It's an asset actually. I believe all passionate artists and musicians who are on the creative side of things have some sort of similar experience. They can see, hear, and envision things, that aren't there, and that other people can't see or hear. I do not see that as a pathology, but rather, a gift.
If the music in the head comes with a bunch of other horrible symptoms, then yeah there is a problem to deal with.
