Music Anhedonia

Does anyone else have aphantasia and musical anhedonia (inability to derive pleasure from music but can recognize and understand music). Music is fine. I’m completely indifferent to it. But everyone I know loves music and listens to it all the time. They have favorite songs and bands or singers. So they ask me who I like and I have no one. Cause I never listen to music or even know popular singers really.

I was just curious if they had anything to do with each other since like. I can’t remember what a song sounds like at all. I don’t have a visual or auditory imagination. So I’m curious if that is affecting my enjoyment of songs or not.

I was in band throughout middle and high-school so I was like exposed to a lot of music. Just never really caught my interest.
