Why won't any addmusic work?

I've tried about 6 different addmusics and done exactly as the instructions/tutorials say and it works all fine but then I open he ROM in lunar magic and click the noteblock and it say "not inserted" when I get to the number i've inserted it to. Also I got someone to successfully insert a piece of music into my rom but as soon as I tried to enter the level with the custom music it went black and crashed. So why is this happening?

PS: I'm not computer illiterate so don't bother saying it's that.

I did indeed. Still didn't work. I also got someone whos been doing it for a few years to add it and it still crashed.

@Wierdboo - I did try your tutorial and I still got the crashing game when I start.

Some music requires the N-SPC patch.

Well I tried doing "Castlevania - Bloody Tears" earlier and it still didn't work and that doesn't need a N-SPC patch does it?

In what order did you do ANYTHING to the ROM?
I followed all tutorials to the letter. Did exactly what they said, I even moved the addmusic folder to the root of C: so there was no spaces but it still didn't work. I had "Exor" insert some music for me a while ago and it inserted for him fine but it still didn't work ingame (caused the game to crash)

I could try to work it...
Try using Addmusic by Carol in the tools section its simple to use in my opinion
Well while trying carols addmusic to add "bloody tears" I got an error

"line 2 Syntax error"

What's that about?

PS: It's the english version.

Umm, what exactly are you trying to do?
Insert some music into a level, I followed the instructions precisely, using the english version of carols addmusic.

Use this tutorial.
I've tried them all mate and they either don't work or crash upon entering the level with custom music.

I had the same problem. I couldn't get Addmusic revX to work at all (it always said "No music has been inserted"). However, I was able to insert some music in my hack by using Addmusic by Carol v1.12. However, it doesn't work with all music. Some music I wanted gave a syntax error (which I had no idea how to fix in the music's txt file), but other music worked and didn't crash ZSNES when entering the level.

All I did was put the music in the "music" folder and name them the number I wanted to insert them as, then ran addmusic_e.exe, typed in the rom name (which I copied to the addmusic folder) and it worked.

BTW, even though the music works, LM shows "Not used" anyway for the music number I inserted it as. Not sure if that's normal.

Also, make sure to backup your rom before trying to insert music.
I do think you've either had bad luck with a port or hit a size limit. a couple of the songs I inserted into my new hack just didn't work whatsoever (Sonic 2 Hidden Palace Zone and Sonic 2 Menu). Try other songs, insert more than one song at a time, insert the song into other slots (I never use a music slot that ends with 0 out of pure habit) and so on.

Sometimes certain songs just don't insert right.
I made a standalone game once, look for Seabug Stampede on Google Play.
Cheers for all the help guys, I finally got it too work using carols addmusic. Again thanks alot guys.
