Hey I am kind of new to map-making, I made a small map and i have a few questions.
-How do you make a spawn point for dm and tdm gametypes?
-How do you add music?
-How do you make a loading screen?
Thanks for the help.

-How do you make a spawn point for dm and tdm gametypes?

For this, you just create seperate spawn points (right click, mp>mp_deathmatch_spawn and/or mp_teamdeathmatch_spawn).

The other two, as Luke has suggested, are covered either on these forums or the MODSonline tutorials.

here is a nice tutorial nightmare made for music
viewtopic.php?t=4774

For Loading pic, get a picture, make it 1024x1024,convert it to .dds (i dont no if this is really required, but i do it to be safe) then inside ur compiling folder, make a new folder called levelshots and put it in there. Make sure it is 1024x1024.

Okay I got the spawns to work, but I am not so great at compiling, do I need to have certain things in my map for it to load and work? I have a small map with a dm and tdm spawn and made a loading screen, is there anything else i need for it to work? I also need some help with compiling, I have winrar and I have seen your tutorials on compiling and testing, but I am confused. can somebody re-word it or explain please, thanks for the help guys!

You need a skybox and an intermission for each spawn type(i.e dm_intermission) this is like a camera and where you put/point it is what you will see after the map loads before spawning.

you don't need an intermission as far as i know, the camera spawns at 0, 0, 0 without it

Correct, it's not essential to have an intermission, but if you want your map to look better than it's recommended
