I did the following:

So, BEFORE you insert your WAV into PPT, go to Tools/Options/General and
change that number in "link sounds greater than XXX kb" to 50000. That's
50MB. Any WAV you subsequently insert will be embedded as long as it's
smaller than 50MB.

This setting is not "retroactive." If you have already inserted the WAV, you
need to delete it, change that "link sounds greater than" number, then
reinsert your WAV. That will force the WAV to embed.

I changed all the mp3 to wav and did the above...I still cannot get the
music to play on other computers when I use the newly created CD.  I don't
like PPT right now

Hi TJ

Find the sound object in your presentation and right click -> edit sound
object. Does it say [contained in presentation]? If it gives a file path it's
not embedded. And if you are puting it on cd, it doesn't need to embedded
anyway: file -> package for cd -> options -> linked files ticked.

If that doesn't help, let us know your version & how you added the sound.

As well as Lucy's good advice to check for "Contained in presentation" could
you explain "I changed the mp3s to wav" I had a client just last week who
said exactly that and it turned out she had just changed the file extensions
on her desktop!

You could also insert as a transition sound
