I just had to leave a webinar presentation on assistive technology because the speakers--who had pre-recorded their spoken presentations--had music playing way too loud, not quite background, as they spoke.
This makes it very difficult and frustrating to hear the presentation when you have a hearing impairment. And some people don't have the best recording setup to begin with.
Also, the cheezy electronic muzak makes me cranky. I'm going to give the same criticism I give when someone in a play makes me listen to a really bad attempt at dialect: it only makes you sound more professional if you can do it with the highest quality.
