Any idea why the track wouldn't be playing? The mod seems to be correctly installed and I have moved and renamed all the mp3s into saw2\sound\music. Camera moves around when I start the game and I hear the UI audio but no music. Music volume setting is at max. Nothing immediately obviously wrong in the console.

Hmm, strange. If the track simply isn't found, the error you'd see at the dev console would be "Failed to load sound "*#music/track01.mp3", file probably missing from disk/repository", so if you're not seeing that error then I'm not sure what could be wrong.
My MP3 rip of track01.mp3 is 44KHz stereo 256kbps CBR, is yours any different? Early on I tested with a variety of MP3 encoding settings and Source Engine seemed to handle it fine...
