Most random decal name ever.
Decals need to be 24 (iirc)-bit, non RLE-compressed .tga's that are either 64X64, 128X128,256X256, etc. (.bmp's work too but can't have transparency)

oh nonononononono.
just make sure your song is first, alphabetically (how I do this is I put a 0_ next to the song that I want to hear first, then a 1_ for second, and so on)

Look at above post I edited. And does it matter if the song has a super-long name and tons of metadata?

It might take a bit longer to load if it's a hughe file, like 500MB, but in general, songs don't tend to be more than 5 minutes long, and less than 100MB each. As long as it's first alphabetically, it'll play first.
btw make sure you have your music on in options
About the decal, is it zXz pixels large? Where z is a power of 2?
