Depends...

When truly working out, music is a distraction....when you need to focus, you cannot. Background noise music is always good for me, preferably hard rock. But I have never wore an iPod, CD player, or Tape player in the gym.
You get to the point where you are lifting your max weight, you don't want to screw up with lack of focus.

...on the time of working out.

Liftting weights...I'd agree.

Repeative aerobic conditioning...music helps.
