I would like a song to play continuously through a PowerPoint. Is that possible? I went to Custom Animations...Animated something...Other Sounds...Navigated to my .mp3 or .wav but it only played for that slide.

I have PowerPoint and Keynote and would use either if it worked.

Thanks.

Simple in Keynote 2 (I don't use PPT and don't know about Keynote 1)

Open the inspector, choose the far left button at top of inspector (looks like a blank document page). Choose the "Document" button from the two buttons you have at the top of this pane (the other is "info"). Down at the bottom you will see a "well" into which you can drag and drop audio for the entire presentation (use the iTunes Library button just to the right of the "well" to pull a song straight from iTunes).. Volume adjustments and "Play Once", "Loop", and "Off" choices for the music are in the dropdown just to the right of the "well"

You know it's kinda dumb we can't play audio through out a few slides or have it start not on the first one.
