Hi Rocky, A bit late on this but as far as I can tell PowerPoint (I have 2k3) does not allow embedding any sounds other than .wav file format. Which is huge compared to .mp3 or the like. I tried a .wma since that is MS's own format but won't embed do that either. You can google up dozens of free/shareware converters if you haven't found one yet.

On Tools-->Options-->General Tab I raised the Link sounds with file size greater than: to 5000 kb which is larger than either of the two mp3 files I'm inserting. But it still links instead of embedding. What am I doing wrong?
