music in powerpoint slide show presentation

[My Chelle Belle]

two questions:
1. How can I add a real song to my slide show presentation? Something like
'kokomo' (the island/beach song) or a song from the outside not the
'computer' music.

2. On some of my slides, I've added the music/sounds that are already in
the computer like honking horns, water, etc. Why don't all the sounds work
everywhere? Some people who open my presentation get the sounds, other
people maybe 1/2 of the sounds work and some people none of the sounds work.
What is causing this?

Dear User,

Music from a CD cannot be embedded in a presentation file. You will need to
take the presentation with you and the music CD.
Most music files are linked and not embedded. WAV files can be embedded if
they
don't exceed the size limit set in Tools > General. If you want to convert
cd tracks to wav files go to this web site
http://www.allformp3.com/cd_wav/cwr.htm

For More
See the following for more info on moving files with links.
Sounds/Movies don't play, images disappear or links break when I move or
email a
presentation
