Help with Yoshi's Island Soundtrack (update/resolved)

Before I say anything else I'll go ahead and admit that I am not very experienced in the ways of custom music, so please excuse any silly mistakes on my part.

I downloaded the Yoshi's Island Soundtrack (by LadiesMan217) from the music section on the site. I only wanted the boss related songs in my hack, so I tried adding "Before Boss", "Boss (intro)", and "Boss Clear" to my addmusic list. I read the readme and also added the sample groups and copied the .brr folders to the samples folder. When I ran AddMusicK (version 1.0.1, found in the tools section on the site) it detected no errors. However, when I play the game it freezes at the title screen. It shows the Nintendo Presents logo as usual, starts playing the title screen song, then it goes silent and freezes when it would normally fade to the title screen.

Sorry for the wall of text.
TL;DR: What am I doing wrong!?

That sounds like some incompatibility issue and not something that would be caused by the Soundtrack. Do you have any patches in your ROM? Also, if you only want the Before Boss, Boss (Intro), and Boss Clear songs in your hack, I recommend only using the samples for those songs and not the whole #YI sample group to save you space. Use this sample group:

Code
#YI
{
	"YI/yi-16.brr"!
	"YI/yi-18.brr"!
	"YI/yi-19.brr"!
	"YI/yi-1C.brr"
	"YI/yi-1E.brr"
	"YI/yi-1F.brr"
	"YI/yi-20.brr"
	"YI/yi-21.brr"
	"YI/yi-24.brr"
}

Unless those 3 were just a start and you plan to add more boss related songs you'll need to look at those songs and see the samples they use and you can delete the rest or you can ask me and I'll do it for you.
Major thanks to Suika Ibuki for layout!
I'm open for music requests, just DM me on discord and we can further discuss there.

Yes, I agree it would be very weird for the soundtrack itself to cause that. I have a few patches applied to the ROM, but I never ran into any problems until I tried adding the YI songs. Come to think of it, the reason for the crash is probably a patch using forced freespace. It's possible AddMusicK tried claiming that particular section of the ROM, which then causes a crash when I JSL to it (I've had Lunar Magic do this to me in the past when inserting ExGFX). I'll try changing around some stuff tomorrow and post back then.
