Ok, after hours and hours I'm giving up on finding out myself how to do these things...

Yes, I did look for it in the zDoom wiki (How is one supposed to find any help there?!) and in the documentation.

I wanted to have a music and texture replacement. After I could not get it to work with any wad tool, I decided to try using zips. So I encoded my music in ogg vorbis and then wanted to build them in. None of the keywords I searched for were even in the wiki. Searching for 'music', I found out that I should use MAPINFO (right so far?). I created a file 'mapinfo.lmp' with the content:
So in the end there was this 'mapinfo.lmp' in the root dir of the zip and the 'track01.ogg' in /music. I loaded the zip - nothing happened. I tried 'track01' without the extension. Nothing either. With the extension added to mapinfo it does not work as well.

What am I doing wrong? I guess that it's the same mistake with the hires textures... They just won't display. How am I supposed to call them? Where am I to put them?

You put music in the root directory of the zip.

You put music in the root directory of the zip.

??

Or in the 'music' subdirectory. It should work so maybe something is wrong with your music? Have you tried to play it with some other software?

Yes, the file is ok. And somehow it works now (with and without the /music dir). My only guess right now is that something went wrong with the zip when I tried the right thing.

I'm quite happy that I can use vorbis instead of wav for the sounds, too. It feels much better to work with this.

Just with the hirestex thing I have no clue, yet. I put an 8-bit .png file into the zip and define it in the hirestex.lmp like above. Is that all and the game should now know the texture? Are there names which I must not use? Is there a difference between flats and regular textures in using the hirestex lump?

Thanks for the answers so far!
