Default Songs overlap. Please help!

Hi Shanna

I would paste the 2 sound files together using audacity (free!). PowerPoint
doesn't handle that kind of thing very well and I'm all for the easy life
:-)

I've done this same slide show numerous times with no problems. I now
have a
different group of songs inserted into the show and the program seems to
recognize the songs length as 0. If I have one song playing per slide,
there
is no problem. If I have 2 songs and have them automatically to play one
after another, it starts them at the same time (unless I put in a delay
start
with the 2nd song and it has to be longer than the 1st song). If I go to
custom animation, right click timing, then go to sound settings tab and
look
under information/total playing time, it shows 0 on all songs. I've
looked
at the songs' files outside of Power Point and they show a "duration".
I'm
just guessing this could be the problem because I've tried so many other
things including inserting these new songs to replace the old songs into
the
slide show that I know works...and it doesn't. I appreciate any insight
anyone may have. Thanks!
