this is an interesting thread...I doubt this disorder is in the DSM. I can see that there is a definite difference between a musical hallucination and intrusive music. The person having a hallucination would perceive it as real and expect that other people could hear it as well, and intrusive music is just in your own thoughts.
Well, I had a musician friend who suffered with schizo-affective disorder and he told me of an episode where he spent the day at the zoo with a bunch of friends and he had one particular song playing over and over in his head for the whole entire day and he could not get rid of it for anything and it ruined his whole day, and even though it happened years ago every time he hears that song or even thinks about that song or the zoo he is reminded of that whole awful experience.
