How do I burn a presentation (with audio tracks) to a CD?

[anne]

I am trying to burn a presentation I have made to a CD. I know how to
complete this process, but I run into problems because of 2 audio tracks that
are part of the presentation. The audio clips are songs.

Is this possible? How am I am to burn the presentation with the audio tracks
and keep the timing accurate in the presentation?

The bad news is that audio syncing and PowerPoint just don't go together!
Playing the presentation from a CD will be even worse.

Sorry!

Depending on your version of PowerPoint, you should put the audio songs (I presume they are MP3 files) into the same folder as the presentation before you insert them into the presentation. Then use the Package for CD option, and use the copy to Folder option and use you CD burning software to copy the files to your CD.

If the music is on a CD, you will then have to RIP it first before you insert it into your presentation.

Hi,

Just embed the songs to the presentation instead of link them to it.
If you use PowerPoint 2003, launch powerpoint then go to Tools >
Options > General, under General options change the value of "Link
sounds with the file size greater than" to the largest file size of
the songs. Remove the sound files in your presentation, and then
insert them from your drives again, save the presentation. If you use
powerpoint 2007, click the Office icon in the upper-left of the
window, choose PowerPoint Options > Advanced, under Save, change the
value of "Link sounds with the file size greater than" to the largest
file size of the songs. The sounds will be contained in the
presentation. Then burn powerpoint to CD. Besides, you can use
powerpoint to dvd conversion tools, there are many out there, like
wondershare PPT2DVD. You can learn more about burning powerpoint onto
DVD from this article:
