Music can be embedded or linked. If it's linked you need to send the music
file as well. You could try PFC Express from Austin  - it's free

Only wav files or headered mp3 files can be embedded there more here in the
sounds section

Only WAV files can be embedded in PowerPoint, while other sound files
are linked externally. So you must transfer your external music files
with your presentation to another computer together with correct
relative path.

Of course there're some alternative way to do. For example, you can
transform your PPT to video files, so all musics are included in the
video files, and you can easily transfer or email the single file as
you like.

But maybe some video files are a little big for online transfering.
Actually Flash is the best way to share files online. Convert it to
Flash movie also retain musics and animations in PowerPoint with
Wondershare PPT2Flash (http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-
flash.html), you may try it now: http://www.sameshow.com/download/ppt2flash-download.html.

I suspect you do not have the needed codecs on the receiving PC.  For a full

One solution is to use something like PFCMedia or PFCPro to process the file
into a more standard format that is compatible across almost all Windows PCs
and PowerPoint.
