The easiest way to add sound to your presentation is the built in method. Add Narration button in Slideshow menu is used to do this. If you want to embed an already recorded sound or music file, you have to click Insert > Movies and Sounds > Sound from file and browse and select your sound file. Then you will be asked whether you want it to play After click or Automatically. Select your choice and your sound will be embedded in the Powerpoint. You can move the speaker icon image to the bottom right hand corner of your slide.

My music will work on my PowerPoint but if put the PowerPoint on another computer it won't Please Help Urgent?

Maybe you just didn't package the inserted sound file with your presentation. Not all inserted sound files in PowerPoint is embedded, sound files in wav format larger than 100 KB (i.e. anything but a short sound effect) and other sound file formats are linked to PowerPoint presentation, they are saved on your local disk. The difference between linked and embedded, please view the related link bellow. Solution 1 - embed the music in your presentation: To wav sound larger than 100KB: PowerPoint-> Tools->Options-> Advanced -> link sounds with file size greater than ...KB. Please input 50000. To music in all formats: Convert your PowerPoint presentation to Flash use some third party presentation tools, Wondershare PPT2Flash, for instance. It can help you create Flash-based presentation with all the original effects retained. Of course, all the sound files will be embedded in the presentation. You can send the Flash-based presentation to your friends and different computers. Solution 2 -- package: 1. Put the sound files and the PowerPoint presentation in a same folder. 2. Reinsert the sound file to the PowerPoint presentation. 3. Package the entire folder into one archive file and send it to others. Do not create self-extracting (SFX) archive since most email block EXE files by default. WinZip and WinRAR are both recommended to archive your presentation files for emailing perfectly.

Not necessarily. If you give an oral presentation and do not use any technology, such as Microsoft Powerpoint, then it is just an oral presentation. A Powerpoint presentation is often done as part of an oral presentation, and it can make it more interesting.
