One of the most common PowerPoint questions that we get asked is how to add music to a presentation and how to get it to play across multiple slides.
Step 1. Download your music in MP3 or WAV format.
The best format to download songs in is in the MP3 format. This has the smallest file size. However there is one big problem with mp3 files – you can only link but not embed mp3 files into PowerPoint.
(This will not be possible if you are downloading music from the Apple iTunes service. If you have downloaded music from Apple iStore you will first need to convert them to mp3 format http://www.bpurcell.org/blog/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=1036) You will also need to make sure that you have all of the copyright permissions and performing rights clearances to be able to store the music in your presentation.
Step 2. Insert the music in your PowerPoint presentation.
From the main menu Insert > Movies and Sounds > Sound from file
Then from the Files of Type drop down box select mp3 format.
You will then get a message about how you want the music to start
Step3 – Setting the music to play across multiple slides
A lot of people have asked if it is possible to keep the music playing across multiple slides- for example if you wanted to make a slide show of someone’s life with music playing in the background – or it could be a useful feature at a trade show.
You do this using a feature called Custom Animation. Select your music file then Right click (not the usual left click) and select Custom Animation. You can do this by selecting Slide Show > Custom Animation
How you do this depends upon which version of PowerPoint you are using.
For older versions of PowerPoint
Then select Multimedia Settings afterwards and make sure that you have selected While Playing >Continue Slide show You will then need to set the Stop Playing button and enter in the Stop Playing > After number slides the number of slides that you would like the music to play for.
If you are using PowerPoint XP the procedure is slightly different
Custom Animation > Right Click on Media and select Effect Options
You will then need to set the Stop Playing button and enter in the Stop Playing > After number slides the number of slides that you would like the music to play for.
Step 4. (Almost there). How to embed music in your presentation
The last gotcha in the process is that the music may not be embedded in your PowerPoint presentation. This means that is you save your presentation onto a CD or you are to email it, then the music may not automatically go across. It all depends upon the file size of the music.
If you want the music to be embedded in the presentation you will need to follow a couple of steps.
1. Make sure your music is in WAV format (mp3 files can only be linked and not embedded)
2. Increase the value in the Link sounds with file size greater than box to a value greater than the file size of the MP3 file. For example if the file size is 4.5MB then you will need to include a value higher than 4500. A good general purpose size that should incorporate most song files is 6000 as most mp3 files are less than 6MB. Be careful as some classical music tracks could be longer than this.
The only downside is that the file size of the final file could be quite large.
There is a 50 Mb limit for embedding WAV files. For eample if you had two WAV files of 34 MB the you will be able to embed them, but it would make your file size over 68MB.

how can i get the song lean on me to download from limewire?
i want that song from the movie lean on me when ever body was singing lean on me together. I don’t know how to find it on limewire thou? Can anybody tell me how to download it.
Nagesh answers:
Use a P2P site such as thepiratesbay.com. When you find the song you are after and click to download it, limewire should automatically open with the song in que for download. If the song is old (like Lean on Me) it may take longer because there are not as many people seeding it for downloading. I hope you find the song you are looking for.

Paul asks…
What are some good ideas for a short film like a 10 min long movie.?
me and my 6 year old little bro are going to make a video. im 14. Do you have any ideas
Nagesh answers:
Anything that is fun…especially video with some comedy. Comedy clips always get high views.
Or anything you like doing.. E.g. Funny slideshow showing really funny pictures of like Jim Carrey, making cute and funny animals slides, etc…
Also…
–for best editing….
Use windows movie maker (included in your windows machine)… It can help you make beautiful slideshow or video clip(e.g. Mixing your songs with pictures/video/lyric/etc)…. Then save it as video file such as wmv file format… Finally upload.
Or .. Just get those clips you want , save & convert them, and then mix/match with pix/sound/etc using windows movie maker to create new masterpieces….
This will help you…. Use ‘zillatube’. This is the easiest (and also the fastest) way.
Zillatube produces mpg/mp3 formats from youtube that are compatible with windows movie maker(or media player), and more.
It is very easy to download and convert videos. Then edit those converted mp3/mpg videos with windows movie maker… Save your file as wmv and then upload.
It works very well….

Lisa asks…
Is it safe to download music?
I have Norton Antivirus and Spysweeper both installed on my computer. I would like to download music but I am terrified that I will get a virus. It it okay if I have both virus things downloaded? If so, which program is the best to download off of? I need one that is free also.
Nagesh answers:
There are quiet a few ways to get music off the Internet. I won’t go into the legalities of all of them. Obviously, if you are getting someones copyrighted material without paying, then that’s probably not legal.
There are services that you can use to get music that WILL pay the artists who created the songs. The most popular are probably…
Apple iTunes -> http://www.itunes.com
Napster -> http://www.napster.com
and even WalMart -> http://www.walmart.com/swap/SwapEntry.do?dslURL=/swap/LoadMain.do%3FmainCategoryId%3D2500
All of these services will sell you songs between .85 and $1.00 per song or so.
There are quite a few services advertised on Clickbank that make the promise that for a one time membership fee, you can download an unlimited number of songs. Here are those services. I cannot attest to how well they work, so research them by visiting them…
Unlimited Download Center -> http://watersaffl.udc01.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS
Movie Downloads.com -> http://watersaffl.movies01.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS
Unlimited MP3 Music -> http://watersaffl.gamecity.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS
Hot MP3 Downloads -> http://watersaffl.mp3hot.hop.clickbank.net?tid=YAHOOANS
I have had good luck finding music on BitTorrent sites. BitTorrent is an Internet protocol for moving very large files. It’s not the same as P2P (limewire and such), but it relies on other users in the BitTorrent community leaving their music files available. I have often been frustrated by downloading a song or album only to find that after it downloads 95%, it stops because not enough BitTorrent seeders have kept the files available. The upside to BitTorrents are that they download extremely fast!
You’ll need a BitTorrent client to download torrents. I use Azureus. It’s a free and very nice client application that you can get here…
Http://azureus.sourceforge.net/
You’ll also need a few BitTorrent tracker sites. Here are a few to get you started…
TorrentSpy -> http://www.torrentspy.com/
The Pirates Bay -> http://thepiratebay.org/
ISO Hunt -> http://isohunt.com/
MiniNova -> http://www.mininova.org
Finally, I have had great luck finding unknown artists by using an NNTP News Server. NNTP is an old Bulletin Board type of protocol. NNTP means Network News Transport Protocol. But the NNTP community has evolved into about 50,000 different ‘channels’ that cover every imaginable subject and there is a way to ‘encode’ binary files to place them on these NNTP groups. For music, music is grouped into different ‘genres’. For example, I download Jazz and Reggae from two different channels. It is not easy to find any particular song or artist, so I just download everything in a group and often find songs and artists that I’ve never heard of before.
To download music from NNTP groups, you’ll need a News Reader. There are some free ones out there. I use this one…

Well, that ought to keep you busy for a while! Good luck!
