Glad to know there's a word for it. I'm aphantasic. I can't see things in my mind, and the vague imagery I do see literally cannot hold still for even a second -- any image I conjure up will twist and shift from one shape to another.
Somehow, I can draw quite well though. But not from mental imagery.
And, I can hear music clearly in my head, with a very long memory. I can easily play back a song as almost perfect audio, even if I haven't heard it in decades, with clear little details.
But I mostly can't make out the words of any music I remember, and in fact I struggle to remember lyrics in general, even of songs I've listened dozens of times. And my sequence-memory is crap.
Sigh... memory is fascinating.
