Hi,
Got a similar problem:
I'd like to email a 22 slide presentation in which I'd like to add
background music I can rip from a cd or other sources and email. Problem is
that converting the music to a wav file turns it into a 30 mb monster. Any
suggestions of how to overcome this?

Thanks!

Convert the wav file to MP3 (or grab as MP3 in the first place)

I'm pretty sure MP3 are OK with powerpoint 2000 onwards

Convert to MP3, as TAJ suggested.

However, if you're going to email the file, you'll need to email both the
MP3 and the presentation. Also, you'll want to put the MP3 in the same
folder before you insert it into the PPT file -- this will help ensure that
the links remain intact when you email the files.

http://www.echosvoice.com/gotchas.htm (Sound Advice) has some info on this
specific scenario.
 
I tried to insert an MP3 file, but it only plays on the first slide. I, too,
would like to be able to play the entire song over the entire presentation.
Any suggestions?????
