embed an mp3 sound file >100kb in powerpoint

[Rob]

I have increased the limit under options/general to greater than the sound
file size but it will only link, not embed

 

[Bill Dilworth]

MP3 files are always linked.

In order to embed the sound it must be converted to a WAV format.

Thanks Bill! Will try converting it and see how it goes. Thanks for your
time

You are very welcome.

I've heard that there are some free converts available on the web, but am
unfamiliar with them. Word of caution, since MP3s are highly compressed
sound files and WAVs are not, the converted file in WAV format will be huge.
Consequently, the PPT with the WAV embedded will be huge.

Files that are large are more susceptible to corruption, so as you build the
presentation, back-up often.

Good luck and have a Merry Christmas,
Bill D.
