RE: Complicated music question

Does the second song play in PowerPoint if you just insert it on eg the first
slide?

If not you probably need to explain how you converted it. You might also
want to try adding the sounds as transition sound on the relevant slides.

Sorry, I forgot to answer the second question. It would be much, much better
if the songs were embedded. That way I could post the entire presentation to
a storage service on the web (I'm in Cambodia, and need to get the
presentation to Chicago).

Thanks again.

I'm not clear what you need. Do you want the songs to play together or the
first followed by the second? (or something else) Do they have to be embedded?

I've got a PowerPoint 2007 presentation (though it is saved as a 2003 file)
for a charity fundraiser, and I am trying to embed music into it. I have
converted the two songs that I want to use into .wav files, and inserted them
into the presentation. The first song plays perfectly. But the second song
just won't play -- the slides continue to advance, but without music.

I have increased the Max Sound File to 50000. I have tried "start on
click," "start with previous," and "start with next." I have tried "play
sound across slides," "automatically," and "when clicked." I have it set to
"start playing from beginning." I am using Custom Animation, and have tried
to make the "transition sound" the .wav file I want. In short, I have spent
hours on this, and am at my wits end!

If it makes a difference, the songs are about 43MB each. Is there a total
limit, other than the 50000 per file limit?

Thanks so much for helping -- it's for a good cause!
