What does he mean Xbox ADPCM? I only see microsoft ADPCM... I saved it as that and it still didnt work. I followed EVERYTHING correctly and I got an error "Invalid access to memory location" and I got another error for different song...

You have to install that codec.

You have many options here.

You could try making it into a sound scenery. Check out some sound scenery tags and their related .sound tags to learn it that way.

You could add it to a sound_looping tag and start it with a script. Once you make the sound_looping tag, use this command in a script to make the music play: sound_looping_start <location of sound_looping tag> <object to attach to, or "none"> <gain>

If it's for a weapon, vehicle, or whatever, check out the appropriate tag types and tutorials for getting sounds to work with your custom weapon/vehicle/biped/etc.
