MP3 in presentation

[Carla Bradley]

I am trying to put a MP3 file in my presentation. I have
added it to the first slide and I want it to play through
each slide until it ends. However if I have the slide
advance, it cuts off the music. If I set it to advance
after a few seconds, it plays the entire song before
advancing. Any way of adding an MP3 to a presentation and
get it to play throughout the slide show automatically
and also hide the icon? I tried to right click the sound
icon and chose edit sound object and checked the looping
option. I have PP XP.

Thanks,
Carla

Well I figured it out. I'm pasting instructions below
from help (yes silly me didn't put in the right search
criteria last time to find it)in case anyone else needs
it..

However I still cannot find an option to hide the icon
for my mp3. Any ideas?

Add music or sound effects to a slide
Display the slide to which you want to add music or sound
effects.
On the Insert menu, point to Movies and Sounds, and then
do one of the following:
Insert a sound file

Click Sound from File, locate the folder that contains
the file, and then double-click the file you want.
Insert a sound clip from Clip Organizer

Click Sound from Clip Organizer, scroll to find the clip
you want, and click it to add it to the slide.
Note To do a search for clips in Clip Organizer, click
Modify. To get more information about finding the clip
you want, click Tips for Finding Clips at the bottom of
the task pane; it gives details on finding files using
wildcards and adding your own clips to the Clip Organizer.

When a message is displayed, do one of the following:
To play the music or sound automatically when you go to
the slide, click Yes.
To play the music or sound only when you click the sound
icon , click No.
To adjust settings for when the sound file stops: click
the sound icon , right-click, and on the shortcut menu,
click Custom Animation.
In the Custom Animation task pane, click the arrow on the
selected item in the Custom Animation list, and then
click Effect Options.
On the Effect tab, under Stop playing, do one of the
following:
To stop the sound file on mouse-click of the slide,
select On click (the default).
To stop the sound file after this slide, click After
current slide.
To keep the sound file playing for several slides, click
After, and then set the total number of slides the file
should play on.

To hide the icon, just move it to the side, right off the slide.
