Trying to add music to a slide show

[Guest]

I have Microsoft Powerpoint 2002 and I have tried adding music to my slides
but cannot do so. I go to insert Movies and Sound Files, but I go to open it
up and it only takes sound files and says that it does not hold this type of
file. On my home computer I have Powerpoint 2003 and it does it just fine. Is
there anyway to do this or is it hopeless?

This should work just fine . What is the format of the music file? There is
little if any difference between 2003 and 2003 in this respect.

Here are compatible sound files (from PPTools):

Audio Interchange File Format (*.aiff, *.aif, *.aifc)
Motion Pictures Expert Group Layer-3 (*.mp3, *.m3u) (Note: May only be
inserted with PowerPoint 2000 but may be played back with PowerPoint 97 or
the 32-bit PowerPoint Viewer.)
Musical Instrument Digital Interface (*.midi, *.mid, *.rmi)
Unix Environment (*.au, *.snd)
Microsoft Wave (*.wav)
Microsoft Streaming Format (*.asf, *.asx)
CDAudio (*.cda)
