Do you mean play a song from say a CD so that it doesn't stop when you move
to slide 2? Find the audio clip in the Custom Animation pane and click on it
to bring up a sub-menu, select Effect Options. Here you can set the song to
play over slides. Is this what you want to do?

THIS IS ABOUT POWERPOINT 2003
* Go to the slide where you want the sound to begin playing
* Choose Insert, Movies and Sounds, then click Sound From Clip Organizer
(or Sound From File) to insert the sound. If you don't want the sound icon to
appear in the slide show, drag it just off the slide.
* Say yes when asked if you want the sound to play automatically. If you
are not asked this, don't worry, the next steps will let you set that (or
double-check the settings if you were asked and said yes.)
* Right-click the sound's icon and pick Custom Animation from the popup
menu. The Custom Animation pane will open and your sound file should be
listed.
* Click the arrow directly to the right of the sound icon to pull down
the various options.
* Select Effect Options, and on the Effects tab, click the radio button
beside Stop Playing after XXX slides. Put 999 in the box so the track will
play throughout all your slides, even if you go back and forth among slides.
PPT
* considers each transition a "slide," so you want to put a large number
in there.
* Now check the settings in the Timing tab. To play automatically, the
timing should be set to Start After Previous with a 0-second delay.Click OK
to close the dialog box.

NOTES:
If you're inserting CD audio tracks directly and having difficulty playing
more than one CD audio track in a PPT 2002/XP presentation, it's because the
settings need to be a little different than what you'd expect in the custom
animation pane Effects tab.

* For example, your presentation has 100 slides. You want the first CD
track to play from slides 1-30 and the second CD track to play from slides
31-100.
* Custom Animation Effects tab settings for the first CD track should be
Start Playing at Beginning, Stop Playing After 100 Slides. (If you put stop
playing after 30 slides as you'd expect to do, the second track won't play.)
* Custom Animation Effects tab settings for the second CD track should
also be Start Playing at Beginning, Stop Playing After 100 Slides.
* You can also put the 999 instead of 100 in the "Stop Playing After XXX
Slides." The point here is that you need to put at least the entire number of
slides in the presentation in that "Stop Playing After" box, not the actual
number of slides you want the sound to stop playing after.

LAST TRICK
Go to TOOL/OPTIONS/GENERAL/ and set to 50.000 kb the sound file size .
Otherwise there is a chance that recipients of your PowerPoint file do not
get your presentation with music.
