Ive just got the 5k one, had the free version but upgraded yesterday. It doesn't have music but you can just listen to the music on your phone (assuming you have an iPhone that is!) while the app is running. The music volume goes down when the voice kicks in with the instruction.

i couldn't find one with decent music
I've just started c25k and am doing it with my own iPod playlist and a cheap stopwatch

NB: this does make me feel, and no doubt look, like a bit of a tool.

I've nearly finished the NHS Choices one, free download from NHS website. All sorts of music, but done so that it is upbeat/mellow etc at the right times, and I like the little motivational tips from "Laura".

Definitely recommend the NHS one. Finished week 6 today :)

I use the Run Double app which I upgraded (for 99p) on my HTC phone. It's great as I can use my own playlist and gives good stats (average speed, calories burned etc) so I can see how I'm improving (allegedly). It also allows me to post my runs on facebook (not that I want people to see what I'm doing) but it's a public means of making sure I get to 5k. Thoroughly recommend.
