Copying music files to CD

I thought I had embedded my music as wav files in this presentation, but
when I copied to CD there is no music. Obviously, the music is linked to my
computer and not embedded. I inserted the music through Insert Movies and
Sounds- Sound from File- and then choose a file from my music (wav, not
mp3). I've also tried inserting it as a transition sound, but still no luck
getting it to save music to CD. I'm thinking maybe I need to go to Options
and increase the file size of linked sounds and reinsert the music files.
Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

M_corbelli,
Yes, increase the file size to its maximum,50000kb. And see if that helps.
Also have a look here for alternatives:

This may be a stupid question, but do I then need to delete the files and
reinsert them, or will it update automatically? Thanks for the fast reply.

As Luc says increase to 50000 will embed (new) wavs added through insert
movies & sounds BUT transition sounds are always embedded so that should have
worked whatever the setting. There's a lot of info on embedding wavs and mp3
files here

That's not a stupid question at all. The setting is not "retroactive," so
you must delete and reinsert the sounds.
