Meter or metre is the measurement of a musical line into measures of stressed and unstressed "beats", indicated in Western music notation by a symbol called a time signature.
Rhythm is distinguished from meter in that rhythms are patterns of duration while "meter involves our initial perception as well as subsequent anticipation of a series of beats that we abstract from the rhythm surface of the music as it unfolds in time" (London 2004, 4).
Level of Meter is shown to be a spurious concept, since meter arises from the interaction of two levels of motion, the faster of which provides the pulses, and the slower of which organizes them in repetitive conceptual groups (Yeston, 1976 number needed).

 Meter in Music
The meter of a piece of music is the arrangment of its rhythms in a repetitive pattern of strong and weak beats.
One of the most common examples of this is the use of triplets to add some compound meter to a piece that is mostly in a simple meter.
To help give you an idea of what each meter should feel like, here are some animations (with sound) of duple simple, duple compound, triple simple, triple compound, quadruple simple, and quadruple compound meters.

  Practical Guide to 18th Century Drumming - Lesson Two
Meter is defined as the basic recurrent rhythmical pattern of note values, accents, and beats per measure in music.
Conversely, if the meter is "compound" the upper number indicates the number of "divisions" of the beat occurring within a measure, while the bottom number indicates which note is the "division" of the beat.
Compound time (or meter) is compound because each beat is divisible by 3.

 music theory basics - meter
All meters where the lower number is both larger than, and divisible by 3 are compound (6, 9, 12, etc.).
All meters where the upper number is an even number that is not divisible by 3 (2, 4, 8, etc.) are simple.
In compound meters the upper number divided by 3 will tell you how many beats are in each measure, and the lower number will tell you what kind of note represents the division.

 Mapping Metrical Particularity
Meter is often described in terms of a binary opposition between duple versus triple beat orderings and simple versus compound beat subdivisions, yielding the familiar set of "four basic meters." In his recent book, Meter as Rhythm, Christopher Hasty has challenged this typology--indeed, the very notion of this or any reductive metric typology.
Though a consideration of shadow meters, multiple meters, and so forth is beyond the scope of this paper, I would point out that one may use this model of metric space, with different definitions of well-formedness, as a means of distinguishing amongst various intuitions regarding metric ambiguity, multiplicity, and so forth.
Two meters can be regarded as more or less similar based on the number of nodes they have in common, a "strong form" of similarity, as well as by their regional closeness--a weaker form of similarity.

 METER and SUBDIVISION
  For example, fast music in a triple meter could be heard as a slow or moderate tempo (60 beats per minute) with its beat subdivided into three parts, or as a very fast stream of beats (180 beats per minute) that are grouped into threes.
  The regularity of meter gives rise to a set of expectations, and these expectations can be manipulated to create emotion, motion, surprise, etc.   For example, in a 4-beat meter ("4/4" or "common time"), the first beat is the strongest beat, and the third beat is the next strongest.
  Rhythm is not to be confused with meter.
