I typically do, but I know it isn't for everyone. If I really need to focus on a particular problem, I'll probably pause the music so I can think clearly, but for the majority of the time I enjoy having something in the background. My prefernce is electronic music or Smooth Jazz.

Smooth Jazz is great! Especially when it’s just music with no lyrics. Does a good job of blocking out any background disturbances.
When I’m stuck trying to get something new working, I switch to something more progressive to clear my head.
