When you do the Pack and Go and then unpack the files, the music file should
be included in the unpacked files and the links to the music should be
resolved -- in other words, use the Pack and Go technique, and your music
should work.

Then do the PPT2EXE technique to wrap up all the unpacked files
(presentation, music, and all the PPT Viewer files/dlls) for distribution.

Vic does a nice job with his EXE thing. It may be worth your while to just
use that.
