I want my music to keep playing while the show loops You might imagine that once you have learned how to set the music to "stop playing after 999 slides" (see here if you don't know how!) then you could loop a slide show and the music would just keep right on playing. Unfortunately you will find that each time the presentation starts over the music will stop and restart from the beginning. This is true whether you are playing an embedded file, a linked file, a sound added as a transition sound or a CD track. The answer is to use the custom show feature:
Start the show and click the action button to start the custom show. As long as there are no other sounds the music will continue playing when the presentation loops. I originally learned this technique from powerpoint magician Glenna Shaw see her site here
