i'm trying to insert a song in a powerpoint and then post it to where others
can see it. the problem is that the music isn't playing except on my
computer. i don't know how to attach the file to where it plays on other
computers.
Hi Anne,
The reason is that:
Sound files in wav format larger than 100 KB (i.e. anything but a
short sound effect) and other file formats are linked to PowerPoint
presentation, when you Email the PowerPoint presentation or show your
prsentation on other computers, the linked music will not be shown.
The differences between embed and link, please view:

Solution 1:
1. Put the sound files and the PowerPoint presentation in a same
folder.
2. Reinsert the sound file to the PowerPoint presentation.
3. Package the entire folder into one archive file and send it to
others. Do not create self-extracting (SFX) archive since most email
block EXE files by default. WinZip and WinRAR are both recommended to
archive your presentation files for emailing perfectly.
Solution 2 - embed the music in your presentation:
To wav sound larger than 100KB$B!'(B
PowerPoint-> Tools->Options-> Advanced -> link sounds with file size
greater than ...KB. Please input 50000.
To music in all formats$B!'(B
Convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash use some third party
presentation tools, PPT2Flash (
http://snipurl.com/ppt-swf PowerPoint
add-in), for instance. It can help you create Flash-based presentation
with all the original effects retained. Of course, all the sound files
will be embedded in the presentation. You can send the Flash-based
presentation to your friends and different computers.
