What Tomoko says is not true.

Actually when you output TOM in the Room Editor, it asks if you want to overwrite, so it is creating a new .TOM. So just type in the name of your wad. Make sure to have it in the same directory as the rest of the .TOM files, and don't add the .TOM extention.

The .CD, .LAR, .RAW files are unnecessary. a .RAW would be for your sky, which you can either make your own or you can copy and rename a different one.

About the theme music. Assuming that you have it converted to the compressed format, and saved as one of the numbers in the audio folder, you can trigger it just like other sounds. Or do you mean like background music that plays all the time? Open script.txt. Go to your level's slot and under the Level= slot, after the name of the .TR4 (also created automatically when you convert .TOMs) type the number of your music in place of the current number. Example:
DATA\CATACOMB,108
