Why will wma sound files not play in microsoft powerpoint?

[part_zw]

I am having trouble inserting windows media player sound files into a
powerpoint presentation. If i go to insert and click on the folder it does
not show any files and if i change it to show 'all files' and add one in then
it does not play the file. Why is this happening and what can i do to change
it?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you

it is probably either
the path to the file is too long ..eg in a folder like my documents /my
music move it to the desktop or a folder off the root c:\music\
or
the wma file contains digital rights management (DRM)
where did the wma file come from...did u rip it from a cd or buy it from an
online store?
windows media player 7 -10 has a feature called copy protect music, if you
ripped it while this option was marked then you will have a problem
online stores which sell wma now use digital rights management
to get around this burn the wma file as an audio track to a cdrw then rip it
back off . make sure the option above is unchecked

lost?
