Default Music files using "Package for CD" Option in Powerpoint

I am trying to burn my show onto a disk, and the show has songs linked to it.

I know the songs are not embedded into the show, so I was looking for a
solution for this. I saw the "package for CD" option in the menu and
according to that, it is supposed to take your show, and all linked files and
burn it onto a disk to be played back using powerpoint viewer. I made sure
the box was checked to include linked files. After the disk burned, no music.

I tried putting all the music and show in one folder and then running the
package for cd tool, still no music.

Is there some special hidden trick to get my music to work? What am I doing
wrong?

System info: XP Media edition service pack 3
Powerpoint 2010

Thanks!

Default Music files using "Package for CD" Option in Powerpoint

Package for CD in 2010 works differently than in previous versions. In fact,
it will embed your audio by default. Did you create the file in 2010 as well
as do the Package for CD thing in it? If you created the file in 2010, did
you tell PPT to link the sounds? If you didn't, then they're embedded, and
they will not play in the 2007 Viewer, which is what the 2010 Package for CD
splash page points to (which is stupid, but MS is sometimes stupid). (In
this case, I'm sure it's because the 2010 Viewer, which supports the new
embedded audio and video, isn't released yet. But it's still irritating!)

So, when you insert the sounds, you must tell PPT to link them. Choose
Insert | Audio, and then choose the sound. Click the arrow next to the
Insert button and choose Link to File instead of just clicking Insert as you
normally would.

Now the package for CD process should give you sound files and they should
play in the Viewer.
