This is a common action among children with autistic tendencies. It's thought that providing a constant stimulus in direct relation to one's own body helps focus the mind inward (for autistics, away from loud noises, large crowds, unfamiliar surroundings, etc.). On that basis alone, I'd say it's normal. In your case, since you are not humming to yourself or making any other loud noises, it should be socially acceptable, especially since you are listening to music - it could be construed as being drawn in by the beat or melody.
Is it normal that I rock myself frequently and I tend to Zone out?
