I think there is no way to do in program menu.\nbut you can make your music file with another program like "sound forge " then you can use with Photo Jam

Most of the time if you have a file with just pictures, when you insert the CD it will ask if you want to do a slideshow or open it.  On the right hand side it says to view a slide, because it recognizes it has only pics.  You can even put them on a flashdrive and it will be the same thing.\n\nAnother thing you can do is a power point of the pictures.  This of course will take more time but you can add animation (like have the pictures move across the screen, etc or even music.) \n\nGood luck with your pics.

you need to go into tools, options, go to the general tab, change the size to 1000 KB where it says links sounds with file size greater than.... then hit OK, then on your first slide, go to insert movies and sounds, sounds from file, locate the song you want embedded, click OK, click yes to start when show starts, then go to custom animation, click on media, click on continue slide show, fill in the number of slides you wish for the sound to be played through, click more options, click loop until stopped, click OK, then click the next OK.\n\noh also in custom animation, be sure to go to the tab that says order and timing and click automatically.\n\nlet me know if i can help at all... I'm just learning power point as well

I feel there are two great freeware options for creating photo slide shows with music.\n\nMicrosoft Photo Story 3 \nFree download for "genuine" Win XP. I know it's MS, but it is a great program for making picture slide show (I don't think it can handle video clips). It is incredibly easy to use, has nice features like being able to add background music and record narration and title clips. It has output settings for NTSC DVD, but appears to only output wmv file format.\n\nSlideshow Movie Maker \nAnother free tool. Not quite as user-friend as PS3, but much more customizable for transitions, allows for importing AVI video clips, and exports as AVI video.\n\nI have used both with good results, but I tend to go to Photo Story 3 if I am a hurry and just want to get it done and if I will be using any background narration.\n\nLinks for the programs below.

first of all the best thing you have to do is, capy paste the song to the harddick, then it's fast and clear when it's playing as the background music of the slideshow.\nIf you want to insert an audio clip after clicking the a slide, then go to Insert->Movies and Sounds->Sound from File, the browse it. Then a small speaker logo is on the slide, once you click that the audio will play. But that will play only on that Slide, not in all the slides, as a background music.\nSo the best thing to do, as I said before copy the audio track the the harddisk(Make sure you made it a WAV. file, not mp3.). In powerpoint, click on the first slide and then go to slide show->slide transition. On the right hand side "slide Transition Window" you'll see "modify transition". In the Sound browse you track and check the "loop until next sound". Remember, you have to this only for the first slide of the presentation. \n\nHope this reached you by time and it helped you. Good luck with your presentation.

1. Select Insert > Movies and Sounds > Sounds from File.\n2. Browse to the folder where your song is. Select it and click OK.\n3. A message will come up asking if you want to play the sound automatically. Click yes (unless you don't want it to start until you click it or do something else, in which case, click no).\n4. Right click on the sound (it looks like a blue speaker) and select Custom Animation.\n5. In the Task Pane, you'll see your song listed (and any other objects you have animated). Click the drop-down arrow for your song and select Effect Options.\n6. Under Stop Playing, select After ___ slides. Change the number of slides to the total number of slides in your presentation (12). Click OK.

Maybe you can go to Outline and highlight all the slides before inserting the music file. This is just a guess though.

You also need to send them the music file as an attachment to your email. Make sure you have linked the music to the slide using the Custon Animation or the Insert File command. \n\nPowerpoint has a neat feature called "PAck and Go" or "Package for CD" (go to File then select the feature). This feature will bring all the files together into one place that can then be burned to a CD )copy to CD) or saved to a folder (copy to folder) which can them be sent via email.
