How can I play music continuoulsy without breaks between
slides in powerpoint? I'm using downloaded music files
during the presentation. I will be using the same song
during the presentation.
Thanks for any suggestions.

If you right click on the sound icon and then right click, you will see an option for "custom animation". Make sure that "media object" is checked in the up-left window. Select "multimedia settings'. Check on "play during animation order" and also while playing "continue slide show". YOu also may want to up the number of slides it lasts through to something like 100. This works pretty well. I'm trying to figure out how to make it last on the web. Oh well.

Insert sound from wherever... Right click icon > Edit
Click to expand...
Sound Object > Select Loop until stopped. OR
After inserting sound, select Slide Show > Custom
Animation> Play Settings> Select: Play using animation
order > Continue slide show > (Stop Playing) indicate
number of slides. Good luck. It worked for me.
 
Wynn,
When you webify your presentation, PowerPoint sets it up to only play sounds
on the first slide. Lucky for you there is a known way to edit the HTML to
fix this. This page from the FAQ should help. Be sure to read the linked
pages as well.

Hello Dale,

By default an inserted sound will play for the current slide only. To get a
sound to play for more than the current slide you have to adjust the
animation settings for the sound (as others have indicated in earlier
replies to your message).

If you (or anyone else reading this message) have suggestions as to how
PowerPoint might change it's features for playing "background" sound, don't
forget to send your feedback to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also why it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
