The Blackstone Audio edition of the Patrick O'Brian Aubrey-Maturin series had a very short musical piece at the beginning and end of each book, which I rather liked. Music between every chapter would be quite annoying, and sound effects would be horrible. The worst use of music I've encountered was in Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood in which the hymns from "The God’s Gardeners Oral Hymnbook" were set to music and performed. I ended up fastforwarding over those. Of course, I disliked that audiobook anyway because I loathed two of the three readers.
