How do you add music to Powerpoint 2007 but also add it to a portable flash-drive?

I hаνе tο take present Powerpoint presentations tο school, bυt I need tο add music tο іt. Thе last time I dіd іt, I added thе music tο thе presentation bυt thе music didn’t play аt аll. I саn’t јυѕt take mу computer tο school, ѕο I рlасе thе Powerpoint οn mу flash drive. Dο I hаνе tο add thе music file thаt I added tο mу presentation οn mу flashdrive аѕ well?

    When you insert the audio into the PowerPoint and the audio is just in your computer not in the PowerPoint that is why it said, “Windows cannot play…” Permanently place the music audio in the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation on your computer.

    The source music file is only on your computer but not on others’.
    So place the presentation file and the music together in the same folder, zip it and then drag it on your flash-drive

    There is a picture for you that this the right way for you insert the audio file on your presentation:

    when you insert the audio, you just link to that file. once you go your slids to other computer, the music will not play because the music is not stored in that computer. to play it, you have two ways:

    1) permanently place your music in the same fold with your slides. that means you need to add the music to your flash drive

    2) embed, not only link the music to your powerpoint. please follow the following step;

    1. Make sure your music is in WAV plot (mp3 files can only be linked and not embedded)
    2. Boost 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 model if the file size is 4.5MB then you will need to include a value privileged than 4500. A excellent 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 regulate for embedding WAV files. For model 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.
