SilentOne answered Tuesday November 13 2007, 4:20 am: Yes, very possible. It depends what you want the music to do though. I did a presentation once with an entry screen, where the music looped until the user left that screen, but then stopped. It's also possible to make it so the music just plays no matter where you are in the show, or plays for a certain range within the powerpoint. I suggest you read the microsoft help pages about your particular need. Use the insert menu, and there is an option for "movies and sounds -> sound from file" that will prompt you to chose the sound file, which you have on the CD.. If it's on the CD as an audio CD track, I'm not sure how it works. Powerpoint might offer to convert it to Mp3 for you, or maybe it will just imbed the massive music file. If it makes your presentation huge, then maybe you should convert the sound to an Mp3 in itunes, and then import the Mp3.
Using that "insert" option will insert a sound which will only display on one slide, and may need to be clicked by a user to activate it. If you want it to play automatically, you'll have to double click or right click on it or something, to change the settings.
Any other specific questions or problems, sent me a private Qn.
Luck!
