Hello! I was having trouble making a mod, and I thought I'd come by and ask what I'm doing wrong. I just want a simple music mod so I can listen to it while playing with friends (rather than editing the actual music folder directly)

As I understand it, the process is "create mod" then:
1)in the new mod folder, create "music" folder
2)in "music" add my songs (.ogg files)
3)have a file "[modname].asset" that is effectively a copy of "songs.asset", with your .ogg filenames instead
4) repeat step 3 with the .txt file to actually make it show up
5) open stellaris, click upload, subscribe, relaunch.

None of my files are showing up, and I'm not sure why. I've spent a long time scouring threads and wikis.

my asset setup looks like
music = {
name = "[songname]"
file = "[songname].ogg"
volume = 0.80
}

and my .txt looks like
song = {
name = "[songname]"
}

I feel like I'm missing something really basic. Can anyone help?

(Edit) Sorry, I didn't see the modding subforum. Guess that's how much of a noob I am. Reposted in there.
