Sound effects, music [...] improve the experience

Actually hard disagreeing on that. I absolutely hate the audio drama versions of audio books and prefer the narrator only ones since they are much clearer and require a lot less focus to listen to and work in more contexts (background noise,...). Sound effects and music (while something is read, intro or outro style music is okay) distract from the actual content.

Usually I agree with this with the exception of hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy where the audio drama is much better than the audiobook version.
