Currently listening to the latest Michael Connelly, The Waiting.
On the one hand, I like that they got Titus Welliver, the actor from the Bosch TV series, to narrate his parts. I believe the daughter's from the show as well, and the main narrator, Christine Lakin, is excellent.
But they occasionally interject snippets of music, and for some reason I just can't get into that. Every time I hear music in an audiobook, it kind of takes me right out of it. Is that just me?

I’m fine with instrumental bits between chapters or large sections because I feel like it can make for an elegant transition. What I really struggle with in an audiobook is singing. Even if it’s part of the original book, even if the singing is good, for some reason I just can’t do it.
i don’t like it personally! takes me out of it haha
Depends on the books. If it is serious it feels a bit awkward. If it is an adventure like a Star Wars book, it is fun.
is it jazz at least?
Hate it so much I will instantly stop listening and return. It pisses me off more than it rationally should
