A lot of people have been asking about this and I found a post here:

Maria Caliban has the following advice:

How To...
Add music to your toolset

There are three parts to this:
1. Placing and labeling your music
2. Editing dialog.tlk
3. Editing amdiantsounds.2da

EDITING YOUR MUSIC FILE

1) Find the folder entitled 'Music' in your My Documents/Neverwinter Nights 2 directory
2) Rename it to fit the naming convention, which is mod_mus_[title]. For instance, for my Company of Blasphemous Ravens mod, I'm using Brunete's Amicus Meus, which was originally Brunete-Amicus_Meus.mp3. I change it to mod_mus_amicus.bmu
3) Change the .mp3 file to a .bmu. I use this utility: Click Here

EDITING DIALOG.TLK
1) Open the dialog.tlk directory of Neverwinter Nights in your install directory with a tlk editor, I use this one: Click Here You'll need to update your browser to Java 5 to use it.
3) Scroll to the bottom and find the last number used, in my tlk file that's currently 184757 but yours may be different. Click on EDIT -> RESIZE TABLE.
4) Add one to whatever number appears and hit 'ok.' This should create a blank line at the bottom.
5) In this line, type in the name of song as you want it to appear in your toolset. I put in Amicus Menus
6) Hit save. (Make sure your toolset is closed when you do this) You can exit now but remember the number of the row you typed the title in.

EDITING YOUR AMBIANTMUSIC.2da

1) Open up your toolset, at the very top is a menu item called VIEW. Click on VIEW and then 2DA FILEs...
2) A list of your 2DA files pops. Scroll down to the one called AMBIANTMUSIC and open it.
3) Scroll down to the last, unused row.
4) In the first column, place the number from the dialog.tlk file that you created earlier. In the second, place the name of the music file without the extension. So I would enter and 184758 in the first column and mod_mus_amicus in the second.
5) Hit the 'Save' button for this file. (It's the one near the 'Add Row' button)

I'd like to add a note to the above post. It gives instructions on how to do two things one should rarely do. First, it tells you to alter the dialog.tlk in your install directory. This is typically a bad idea as most patches will overwrite this. For the majority of your modifications, you should copy your dialog.tlk into your My Documents/Neverwinter Nights directory and edit that one. Secondly, it's typically best to add a new row to the bottom of a .2da file instead of overwriting padding, however, I found that caused an error with amdiantmusic.2da.

There's also been talk concerning the issues with importing voice over and music files in 1.02 that are supposed to be addressed as of 1.03.
