Well, these features are not currently supported by MXM (EDIT: I meant MXM Skinner, not MXM), so you will have to edit the MXM_Skin.xml file, and add them in yourself.

As for the intro (title) and loading screens, check the skinning overview document (included with MXM).  Each screen is a different "Layout"; so check the "Layout" section in the guide.  And each object (textbox, picture, video, etc) is a "LayoutElement.

Fonts can only be used in XPR format.  Use fontbundler to convert any font on your computer to XPR.  Check the skinning guide on how to use XPR's in your skin.

There is a section for music in the skinning guide as well.  Read that.

After you have finished editing your XML, remember to open it with IE to check if the structure is correct.  If there is something wrong, IE will give you an error message instead of displaying the contents.
