For further clarification, my issue with background music isn't confined to just games. I don't like when it overshadows scenes in movies, or drowns out dialogue in shows.To say something in favor of music: if well done, it can support the story and mood very well, improving the experience, at least for me. In any game (not only AVNs) I usually stick to the default music if it at least halfway makes sense and fits the scene. My "own" songs I can listen to at any time anyways.
However, if you just give me the same song on a loop or even a selection of songs which will just play regardless of the scene and situation, that is indeed useless. And I will agree that I also don't need music for these games. But, as I said, if well done it can really improve the experience.
(First things I do when playing a RenPy game is activating fullscreen and instant text speed)
Part of that might be from my particular issues with music in general, stemming partially from my misophonia.
Not saying that one way is better than another, simply pointing out what I do, and that I wish music tracks were also separate channels in other media as well.
