Embedded music in a presentation

Hi all!

I'm trying to embedd a sound file into my presentation so that I can send it to people over email and they would still hear the music (as opposed to a linked sound file).

The problem I am facing is that a 15 second WAV file costs me 3 MB addition to my 3 MB presentation. If I put the whole 60 second tune, it's much more, so now I can;t send it to people.

I have stumbled into many presentations with embedded music and long tunes, and the whole presentation isn;t more than 2 MB...

What am I doing wrong here? Is there another format other than WAV that I can embedd in the presentation? If not, where can I find WAV files that don't weigh so much ? (I do have my own tune on a MID file, but converting it to a WAV makes it so heavy and the quality decreases a lot).

Please advise me!

Thanks a bunch,

Have a read of the articles on embedding wavs and mp3 files in PowerPoint here

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the forum but have an idea for you. I do presentations that are viewed by people on the Web. I make them using Powerpoint, and then convert them to an .swf using a program called Flashpoint. It takes all the wav files and converts them to mp3 and compresses all the images. It seems to work well for what I need to do and the cost is reasonable for personal use.
