Hi,

I am having power point 2003 and what I want is that when I start the
slide show presentation, the music file should be automatically played
throughout the presentation. Is there a way to integrate this mp3 file
into the presentation and make it such a way that it will play when
the presentation has started. 2007 is able to do this but i dont find
such option in 2003.
 
Try inserting on slide one > play automatically

Double click the entry in custom animation and select stop playing after ...
999 slides
 
The thing is powerpoint is linking my presentation to the music file
when I insert the clip but it is not attaching the music file to my
presentation. How do I attach the music file to my presentation?
 
MP3 won't be embedded.
Try CDEX to convert your MP3 to RIFF-WAVE
Take off the MP3 file from your presentation then insert the Riff-wave
(extension .wav)
It should be embedded.
 
ok i converted my mp3 to .wav and now I have saved the music file in
my jump drive. I have inserted this clip to my presentation, which is
on my desktop. Now when I remove my jumpdrive, the presentation plays
without the music. So i think it is not embedded in it. Any other way
to attach the music file to my presentation?
 
Depends on the size of you wave file, and what you have set as the max
allowable size for embedding.

As Michael said
Go to the Tools menu/Options/General Tab.
Change the 100Ko to 50000 to allow PPT to embed sound up to 50 Mo.
Now it should work
 
Why can't powerpoint attach an MP3 file? with a .wav file, the 2
minute music file is 12 MB and the MP3 version is only 2 MB. Totally
my presentation (which was 6 MB) comes to 18 MB with the attached .wav
music file. Is there a way to compress .wav or the presentation itself
to a smaller size below 12 MB?
