Can't get music packs working?

edited 2011 Aug 16 in Technical Support
I downloaded the most recent beta release of doomsday (1.9.0 beta 6.9) and I can't get Sycraft's Doom remixes to work.

I put the .pk3 in my snowberry addon folder like the instructions say, and it shows up in the frontend correctly. I also made sure that "external files" is enabled in the audio menu. And I even tried using the "sdl_mixer" for the sound driver (that's the only other one I tried other than default).

So, what am I missing here? I really wanted to hear the remixed music by Sycraft, but the music sounds the same whether or not I have it enabled. What am I doing wrong? The other music packs that I downloaded work great (the classic doom music available on the addons page). I just can't get Sycraft's to work.. I am expecting to hear something quite different -- maybe it sounds so similar I can't tell the difference?

And as an aside, is it normal for addons to show up in the addons menu for other games? For example, I have the doom high-quality UI installed, and it also shows up under the addons for hexen.. I just leave it disabled of course, but it doesn't seem like it should be showing up.. (btw, my filter is set to "only compatible").

Certainly though, I'm more concerned about getting these music packs to work. Any and all help is appreciated!
