I use a Leica M3 with a 50mm Summicron. I have owned an M2 and also an M6 but prefer the 0.94 viewfinder of the M3. That said, if I had disposable income (I don't) I would also have an MP and either a 35mm Summicron or CV 40mm 1.4 Nokton. The Leicas are small, robust, lightweight, quiet and unobtrusive. With the M3 on my chest, I look like a middle-aged tourist and therefore not very intimidating. And speaking of light, quiet and unobtrusive, I just bought an Olympus Trip 35 ($25 on eBay) which I believe has great street potential.

I can't even imagine listening to music while working the street. I would be way too distracted. The voice in my head would be saying "Wow, did you hear the riff the sax guy just played?!" or some version of that. I prefer to be very alert and in the moment (ears as well as eyes) with my rangefinder prefocused and ready. One thing that has worked well for me (and I'm sure many others) is finding an interesting situation or some great light and simply waiting until the right people move into the frame as illustrated by this photo I just posted to the group

I'm surprised no one mentioned Saul Leiter, he has done amazing things with color

I didn't try street photography until I bought an old Olympus C2500L off of e-bay last year.

It is perfect as I set it to infinity and hold it a waist level just snapping. Here is one of my favourites.....S
