AddmusicK 1.05 "could not find base error"

There probably was a thread similar to this one, but I just want to find out what seems to be the problem that I get this error, any help will really be appreciated!! Feel free to close this thread once the solutions found!
I haven't seen anything like this before. What is the exact error message?
Make more of less, that way you won't make less of more!
Once I enter the rom name "romname.smc" Below it just says:



Error: Could not find "base"
Press ENTER to continue
Is "base" by any chance the name of either your rom hack or a song you're trying to insert?

to hear birds and see none.
neither actually. Not sure if It's something that has to do with the samples or the music since this ain't the 1st time that this has happened
I'm pretty sure, it happens because of some tool conflict. Specifically, some tools like AddmusicK, the UberASM tool, PIXI and GIEPY put their ASM data into the folder "asm". Unfortunatelly, it also has got the problem that each tool overwrites their data.
I put the tools in seperate folders and use batch files to run the tool.

I, for example, use a drag and drop batch file. In order to do this, simply copdy the following code into notepad:
Code
@echo off
cd folder
tool.exe %1
pause

Next, remember to replace "folder" with however you have named folder the tool is located and "tool.exe" with however the tool's name is (quotes are optional and allows you to use).
Finally, save the batch file however you want (I use "_tool_name.bat" i.e. the tool name with a prefixed underline so that it's first when alphabethically sorted) but keep the file ending in mind: The name has to end with ".bat" (without quotes). Furthermore, if you use the regular notepad and some other text editors, you have to select the file type under "All Files" so that notepad determines the extension and thus save it here as a batch file instead to save the file as a text file. Other text editors like Notepad++ are smarter and detect the extension automatically (in fact, "has to" is in italic because you can even chose the file type in some of the text editors so you don't need to put ".bat" at the end).
Found a temporary solution, just made a separate folder for Addmusick and it's working so far. I'll try out that other method when I can later on. Thanks for all your help everyone!
Honestly, this is actually a permanent solution if you don't modify the tool to use a different folder other than "asm" (by which you have to recompile the source code with the changed folder name).
True, I'll just do that instead with other tools like Sprite Tool aswell.
