Music and ADD — Help or Hindrance?

I’ve just done a cursory web search to see if there’s any research on the use of music as a moderating stimulus to help with attention deficit disorder.  To my surprise, I saw almost nothing.

Does music help or hinder your ability to stay focused when you’re working?

I find that reasonably “calm” music can help me stay focused while working.  But zippy music (or any music with lyrics that I know) are guaranteed distractions.  How about you?
