Slides won't advance with music added

I've got MS Powerpoint for Mac (latest version) & the slides won't advance
when I've added a music track. If I eliminate the music track, they advance
just fine, using the timings I've set for them. But when music is added, it
plays, but the presentation just sits there on the 1st slide.

I've added the music to the first slide and set it to play w/o clicking on
it. I just simply want the music to sun in the background using my timings
for the slides.

Any ideas?

When the sound file is added to the first slide, by default the slide
will not advance until the sound "animation" is complete, that is PP
wants the song to finish before advancing to the next slide.

You need to set the Custom Animation options for the time of the song,
I do not have the Mac version so I cannot tell you specifically where
to go, but you need to click on the speaker icon on the first slide,
and then select Custom Animation, you should find Effect Options and
select this. There will be a place to specify when to stop palying; one
of the options is to specify the number of frames. Simply enter the last
slide number in your presentation. That should fix your problem.

Well, I'll be danged. Worked.

Seems like an awful backward way to do a simple thing (listening MS?), but
I'm glad to know how to do it.

Thanks very much for the tip!
