MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008problems getting mp3 files to play
I have Powerpoint 2003 SP3. I downloaded MP3 files from Amazon and added one of them to a slide using Insert, Movies and Sounds, Sound from a File. My down loaded files are at a path of C:Downloads - Music so the lenth of the file shouldn't be a problem. I can right click on the speaker and select Play Sound and the MP3 file plays (after a 5 second delay???). However, when I play the Slide Show it goes past my MP3 file and never plays the music. In the Custom Animation, Effect Option, on the Effect tab I selected Start - from the beginning, Stop Playing - after 999 slides . On the Timing tab I selected Start - after previous and Delay 0. I think it has something to do with the next slide but I have tried everything I can think of. Create a folder in C drive. Put both the ppt and mp3 into the folder. Now, delete the mp3 and re-insert. See if it works this time round.

You do not have the proper codec installed and registered as the default. 3. The MP3 contains DRM (Digital Rights Management) in it and if so it can not be used in PowerPoint. (As you downloaded this from Amazon I would bet that is the issue.)
