It's doable, but takes a bit of work.
Instead of using Insert Sound, go to your Controls Tool bar (Turn it on in View if it isn't on the screen) and in click the more tools icon (botton right corner of the controls tool bar) and you will be presented with a list of "controls" you may insert into PowerPoint. Scroll to the end of the list to Windows Media Player, select it, and then place it on your slide. Next right click the control (Media player) and select Properties. In the URL property enter the path and name of your music file. Move up to the top of the properties box and select custom. There sould be a pull down menu now available in the custom proerty. Click it. In the dialog box provided select "Loop" As media player is an external control, PowerPoint won't reset it when it loops through your slides. The only down side is that as PPT has no control over it, you must manually stop it when you are done with the presentation.

Never mind... I found the control toolbar.
I got the Media Player placed on my slide. Now... how do I know what the path and name of my music file is? What do I type in? And.. there isn't an option to "loop". -- E Greer "Austin Myers" wrote: It's doable, but takes a bit of work.

I got the Media Player placed on my slide. Now... how do I know what the path and name of my music file is? How did you know what it was when you inserted it before? What do I type in? Example: C:\MyDocuments\MyMusic\song1.wma And.. there isn't an option to "loop". I promice there is. It's in the dialog box that comes up when you use the "Custom" property of the Windows Media Player Austin Myers MS PowerPoint MVP Team Solutions to Multimedia in PowerPoint www.pfcmedia.com -- E Greer "Austin Myers" wrote: It's doable, but takes a bit of work.
