  I've been looking around the PowerPoint menu for about 20 minutes looking for a way that I can make my music file play through the entire presentation without stopping, instead of it stopping when I change slides or when a sound effect plays.  I'm almost positive I've seen it done before.  Any idea?
Thanks
- Sean

	Hi Sean, welcome to the 123PPT Community and PowerPoint Forum. Sure it can be done. My colleagues in our sound department here have put together some step by step guides on how to loop music and/ or play one music file across an entire presentation. Take a look at http://www.123ppt.com/powerpoint-tutorials/powerpoint-tips-sound-music.asp Question number 7, *How to play one Background Music Loop or music track across a whole PowerPoint presentation?* is where you'll find you're answer. Just follow the simple step by step guide. I would also recommend taking a look at the 123PPT Music & SoundFX Studio for PowerPoint. While PowerPoint does let you play music it doesn't really let you control sound. The 123PPT Music & SoundFX Studio extends the functionality of PowerPoint by providing you with tools and functions inside PowerPoint that let you: Create playlists Loop playlists or dynamically shuffle tracks in playlists Control volume Fade music in Fade music out Crossfade between tracks Pan music from left to right or from right to left Synchronize sound effects Play multiple levels of sound for example music and sound effects in sync at the same time Record vocals and voiceovers inside PowerPoint and narrate slides That's just a quick overview of some of the many new fucntions the 123PPT Music & SoundFX Studio provides PowerPoint presenters Sean. Why not try the free 14 day Trial Edition which can be downloaded from: http://www.123ppt.com/music-soundfx-studio/download.asp
