Yes! You can download Couch to 5K as podcasts (either from the website or iTunes - both free) that coincide with the training weeks that are set to music and tell you exactly when to start and stop running so you're not constantly looking at your watch.
I did my first 5K last year and trained using the Couch to 5K podcasts. It was a good way to ease into running. The program is 8-9 weeks long, but I would definitely allow yourself at least 12 to really get into the habit of running that far, that long. I never thought I would be into running (I'm the person who would walk the mile when we were tested in middle school pys ed) but by the end I really enjoyed it and hope to train again for the same race next year.
