Handler was in two bands after college, the Edith Head Trio and Tzamboni, but his music received little attention until ''[[69 Love Songs]]'', a three-album set by [[The Magnetic Fields]] on which he played accordion.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Robinson|first=Tasha|url=https://www.avclub.com/daniel-handler-1798208806|title=Daniel Handler|date=November 16, 2005}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/57151/merritt-returns-to-bubble-gum-goth-on-new-album|title=Merritt Returns To 'Bubble-Gum Goth' On New Album|date=2006-09-25|magazine=Billboard|access-date=2020-03-18}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Jurgensen|first=John|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB120250925409554929|title=Magnetic Fields: On the Road|date=2008-02-09|work=Wall Street Journal|access-date=2020-03-18|language=en-US|issn=0099-9660}}</ref> In the box set of the project, Handler interviews band leader [[Stephin Merritt]] about the project. He also appears in Kerthy Fix's and [[Gail O'Hara]]'s 2009 documentary ''Strange Powers,'' about Merritt and the Magnetic Fields.

Handler has played accordion in several other Merritt projects, including [[The 6ths]] and [[The Gothic Archies]], the last of which provided songs for the ''A Series of Unfortunate Events'' audiobooks. In 2006, a Gothic Archies album was released with all 13 songs from the 13 ''A Series of Unfortunate Events'' audiobooks, along with two bonus songs.

In the audio commentary on the film adaptation ''[[Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'', Handler plays a song about how depressing it is to have leeches in a film.

Handler wrote the lyrics to the song "Radio", performed by [[One Ring Zero]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archive.boston.com/ae/music/articles/2004/09/26/one_ring_zero_weaves_writers_words_into_song?pg=full|title=One Ring Zero weaves writers' words into song|website=The Boston Globe|language=en|access-date=2020-03-18}}</ref> and "The Gibbons Girl", by [[Figures on a Beach|Chris Ewen]]'s The Hidden Variable.
