end. I've tried to do that in Powerpoint for Mac but can't find any way to
insert a playlist. Is there any way to do this on the Mac?

Thanks Jim for your help. I may be missing something but I'm not sure the
article you referenced helps me. I may have not described what I'm trying
to do very well. I have a presentation that I have been given using
Powerpoint 2003 & 2007. The presentation has approximately 100 slides. I
start playing the presentation 15 minutes before the start time of
meeting. I have the first 30 slides set up to advance automatically at 30
sec intervals. Each of these slides have group announcements, etc. and are
basically just filler while the group is coming in. While the slides are
playing, Powerpoint is also playing background music. It usually takes 4
songs to fill up the 15 minute time frame. I was inserting a m3u playlist
containing the 4 songs into the first slide and then under Custom
Animations, setting the sound to stop after the 30th slide was done. This
worked great in Powerpoint 2003 & 2007, but there seems to be no method to
play multiple songs over a specific number of multiple slides in Powerpoint
for Mac. Thanks again for your help.
