MP3 clip will not play in slide show

[Guest]

I have a series of MP3 clips in a folder where I have saved my PowerPoint
Presentation. The all play fine in iTunes or in media player. One of them
will not play after I "insert sound.." into my slide - all of the others do!
I followed exactly the same procedure for inserting each of them.

Is this another part of the diabolical Microsoft plot to deprive me of my
sanity!

Could they have DRM protection?

Thaks for the reponse. I don't know what DRM protection is. Also, I doubt
it's the problem. This sound clip was working fine in the original PP
presentation. I copied the presentation and 10 audio clips to a new folder.
I re-established the links to the sound files by deleting the original sound
icons and re-inserted each sound using the "insert, movies and sounds, insert
sound from file.." Now nine work but the last one, which is from a different
souce, but still an mp3, does not work.

How can I check for DRM protection?

Further to John,

I checked your web site and tried the solutions there - finally I
"converted" the mp3 to "wav" using CDex as you suggested. It works!

(Why - I don't know!)

Many thanks

I wonder if it's a path length issue.
