I sent my power point presentation to my proffesor and the music that I
played with it is from my own files and it will not play in the background on
his computer how do I get the music to play on other computers?
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, 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:
Music in each format can be embedded in PowerPoint if you use right
trick.

Convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash use some third party
presentation tools, PPT2Flash (
http://snipurl.com/ppt2flash),
Articulate presenter (
http://www.articulate.com/products/
presenter.php) 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.
With regards.
