I feel like it was inevitable, with the recent buzz around NotebookLM. I'm just surprised that it hasn't been done yet.

Why is it that some people can accept - even like - music behind a voice that tells something?

I strongly dislike it. It makes it harder to listen to the voice.

Am I the only one?

No, you are not the only one, background music is pretty common though.

Often the background music is just too loud compared to the voice. Professional productions use a technique called ducking, where the music is dynamically made quiet in relation to the volume of the voice.

Personally, I prefer no background music at all, and I wonder if there is a case to made for the professionally balanced case?
