Hi new to the website and Buddhism.
Is it ok to listen to music while meditating ?

I don't listen to music when l sit down and meditate, but lm curious if its alright to do when lm practicing walking meditation. If so any good examples of appropriate music would be appreciated.

    yes, it is fine...

    instrumental music, tool (specially intro of pushit), samael, therion, some happy italian songs... there's many music that can complement meditation.

    Do you feel a need to distract yourself from the act of walking, with music? Is "just walking" not good enough? It's not necessarily bad, but what is the reason for doing so?

    I often listen to music before meditation, but not during. I find listening to it helps me relax a bit. But listening to it during meditation is a distraction for me.
