This is ages after you posted this, but I've been really busy off the internet cleaning, so yeah. Sorry if this is too late to comment.
But... that said, I have ended up editing the music out of my podfics because a lot of people don't like music in podfic, no matter how carefully I edit it in or how relevant/meta it is (and a lot of times, it really really is for me; heck, half of the time the music is the first thing I pick after I decide to podfic something).
And at first, I just wanted more people to listen to my stuff, and that's natural, right? but as time goes on it is starting to get to me, because those same people like the podcast "Welcome to Night Vale" and the music never ends and is even under the narration.
Why do the same people who like music in movies and podcasts absolutely have to have the sound effects and music edited out of podfics? I worked damn hard for that one horror TW podfic of mine, so it would sound like a real Hollywood slasher and I know that's the reason it's not more popular.
Because I dared to have only a music version. >:/
*sigh* Ugh, I hate feeling like I "have" to have a non-music version.
