It turns out it is really easy. The tutorial I read is way over complicated and goes into how to set up custom music. http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_New_Vegas_Music
But if you just want to use an existing music set it's easy. I'll mention it in case there are people like me who would like to do it but are new to modding (and since nobody seemed to know).
All you do is look at the cell with the music that you want, in my case Doc Mitchell's house. You'll see a big, square, blue marker with an A on it. That's the music marker. Double click that, go to the Audio Marker tab and click on Audio Marker Dialog. There's a drop down menu labelled Media Location Controller that shows the music that is playing in that cell (eg musCtrlDocMitchell). Now open the cell you want to edit and find the audio marker, double click on it like you did with the other one and select that music. All the cells seem to have them even if there is no music but if there isn't you have to place your own and its on Static under World Objects on the Object Window.
Now I have music playing in my Novac Motel room. Yay.
