The music in Alphabeats offers a good variety of electronic tunes and serves as a rhythmic backdrop influencing gameplay, with an enjoyable soundtrack overall. The game supports customizable music, allowing players to use their own songs, though beat recognition for custom tracks can be inconsistent, sometimes making the music more distracting than enhancing. While the integration of music and spelling creates a unique experience, it may feel like too many mechanics competing for attention.

- “Great soundtrack with a good variety of tunes.”
- “You can use your own music to play the game, and it also helps you figure out just how good your own vocabulary is.”
- “Doesn't really work very well with own music and not worth the eight dollars.”
- “Combining the joy of spelling with custom soundtracks turns out to be a game with one too many mechanics fighting for the player's focus.”
- “The music's effect on the letters is minimal, making it more of a distraction than an additive feature.”
