is it possible to use mp3 music files in powerpoint?

[jb]

I am wanting to add an mp3 music file as a background for a powerpoint
presentation. Is there a way to do this without having to convert the mp3 to
a wav file?

Thanks!

THANKS, Bob. I discovered that I could insert mp3 in Powerpoint 2002 as a
movie file. The link you provided was also helpful.


THANKS AGAIN!
