Copying the mp3 files directly into the music folder works.
Also note that some mp3 files have additional data that needs to be removed. A search of the forum should turn up multiple threads with that information.

I've seen others talk about using links, but haven't worked out how to do that myself.

The music player that's built into ATS is a bit 'basic' in it's design.
If the .mp3 files contain any tags, then for some odd reason, the player in ATS won't play them, no one really knows why, that's just the way it is.

You can add your music to the music folder in ATS by creating a link to your My Music folder and placing that link in your C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\American Truck Simulator\music folder.
I've tried this and as long as the aforementioned files have no tags, they will play in ATS.

You can also simply setup your Steam music player. After you set that up, just Shift + Tab and select the Music tab on the bottom.

I personally use the in-game radio for just that, radio. But if I feel like playing one of my recorded mixes, I just do the above steps and select the mix from My Music folder under Steam Music Player and have at it.

Any songs in your game's music folder would appear under the music tab, not the radio list.
Check that they are all mp3's. It might not be able to play ogg's or wma's.
Make sure the song's details (Right click > Properties > Details tab) has a song name as well as the artist's name. If it's missing those, it might not detect it as it should.

If that doesn't work, you can always play them in your local media player.

Then you need to convert them to .mp3, the player in ATS will not play or even recognize any files other than .mp3.., as far as I know...
