Do folks ever allow the Musician Origin Feat to grant Inspiration to the one using it as well?
"you can play a song on a Musical Instrument with which you have proficiency and give Heroic Inspiration to allies who hear the song."
RAW, "allies" seems to not include oneself, but do tables tend to allow this? Say, once you have Proficiency Bonus high enough to get all your allies and then you?
Well, the definition of "Ally" in the Player's Handbook says (in part) that a creature is your ally "if it is a member of your adventuring party". That seems like it should include yourself, in much the same way as spells that say something like "a creature you can see within range" are generally considered to allow targeting yourself.
I'm not sure that's intended in the specific context of the Musician feat, but it's not something I'd ever make a fuss about in practice, especially given all the other various ways there are to get Heroic Inspiration these days.
From what I have seen no. A small trick around it is if the ally is human or has Heroic Inspiration they can give it to another meaning they can give it to you since they can only have 1.
I figure it’s a yes. If nothing else, it’s not going to break the game or seriously upset the balance if one player gets the Inspiration over another or the whole party has one banked rather than all but one.

If you were considered your own ally then you would be able to Help yourself, and need no one to Sneak Attack with in melee.
So game-wise, i believe an enemy or ally refers to another creature than yourself and game features specifically meant to affect you mention ''you and your allies'' in their description.
Having said that, i wouldn't have an issue allowing it to affect the Musician if one of my players took the feat.
Ally
A creature is your ally if it is a member of your adventuring party, your friend, on your side in combat, or a creature that the rules or the DM designates as your ally.

The Rule Glossary doesn't refer to you when mentioning Ally being written from your perspective. Exemple of game features that specifically affect you and your allies include Aura of Courage, Aura of Protection, Aura of Devotion, Nature’s Sanctuary, Smite of Protection, Aura of Life, Animal Friendship, Awaken, Charm Monster, Charm Person, Dominate Beast, Dominate Monster, Mass Suggestion, Suggestion etc
