Nature sounds with an acoustic guitar playing in the background often help me to relax and get ready for meditation. Classical music often helps as well. I would suggest that you try a fee different types and see which is most beneficial to you.

I absolutely agree with Lonicera .The best music for, me when it comes to meditation ,is nature sounds .Different people will attune easier to different sounds ,and not so easier to another type sounds .It will depend mainly on your mentality .
Think about what kind of music makes you feel relaxed , calm and use this type .Also you can do some experimenting around with different types and see which one is best for you .
Avoid music which contains lyrics and clearly auduble words ,which repeat at certain intervals of time .Otherwise you can find yourself distracted , and your mind can start singing or repating the lyricks (words ) and you will loose your focus .

try crystal or brass singing bowls, you can also check out drumming. I have listed a couple of examples below

I love music with meditate. Depending if what is your type music. This is my favorite artist i download it in mobile free site:

Era, Gandalf, Oliver shanti with friends, The Gentle People, or Moby i like "Slow Light" ect, and ect. . .

I use binaural beats the help increase my focus and drown out outside sounds and distractions specifically theta waves for me

Much like with study for basic topics for tests, not everyone can expect soothing music with no lyrics and such to help them concentrate while studying or this case Meditation. Usually for me I listen to heavy metal and such because its what my mind feels comfortable with. So I suggest using your favourite music, I have no hate towards the "Trance and Meditation beats" but sometimes it just doesn't work.
