Background music

[Joel Nelson]

Is there a way to set background music for a PowerPoint presentation? I
want to set audio files or CD tracks to play as a background for a number of
slides, and when one track ends, another starts. I was assuming the way to
do this would be embed the first track into the first slide, and then embed
the next song into the first slide in the show after the slide where the
first track ended. The only problem I run in to is when the slideshow
advances it doesn't keep the background sound into the next track.

What I do is create a soundtrack with all the music I want
and the correct timing with an audio editing program.
There are many out there (Felt tip is free with OS X) that
will work just fine. You will then just have one audio to
embed.
