Hello Jason,

PowerPoint does not have the ability to chain a sequence of audio files
together (you will need to combine the audio files into a single audio file
before inserting it into PowerPoint.

A very cool option in PowerPoint 97 is the Custom Soundtrack add-in. The
PowerPoint Custom Soundtrack Add-in allows you to add
electronically-generated background music to your slide shows. It also
provides smooth transitions from one electronically generated song, to
another. You can install this add-in from the following folder on the
Office 97 compact disc:

<drive>:\ValuPack\MusicTrk

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions as to how
PowerPoint improve it's options for controlling the insertion and/or
playback of audio (chaining songs, fade in-out, embedding more audio
formats, better link management, etc.), don't forget to send your feedback
to Microsoft at:
