There is a dropdown menu called "Tools" in the top of the screen. Choose "Level Properties". Now you can set things such as the title of the level, the next level setting (very important, if you don't want the game to crash) and a few others, among which is 'Music'. You can use any file that is located in your JJ2 folder that ends with .mod, .it, .xm, .s3m, and if you have JJ2+, .mp3. Also, the original music files (for example, water.j2b or menu.j2b) do not require the .j2b extension for them to work.

animating tiles but I cant find out how to put them there).
In the animated tile window, select an empty tile. Then, move to the tileset window and hold Control. Now every tile you click will end up in the animation. To access the settings of the animation (for example, speed or 'ping-pong' effect), right-click the selected animation in the animation window.

Be ever patient, and if you're stuck with something, try using the JCS built-in help file. It really helped me a lot. Also, there's sites like JCSref around, try looking at those too.
