echelonphoto Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I make slide show presentations on cd 's for my customers and I just bought little used compaq pc with a 733 MHs pentium cpu. The unit works great and plays music from other sources, but will not play the music embedded in my pics to exe show. Otherwise, show runs great. I put in an audio cd and it is fine. What could this be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt S Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 What type of audio did you use, MP3, wave or WMA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echelonphoto Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 The files were created on XP pro and the playback unit is a windows 2000 Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echelonphoto Posted December 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Ken, I tried copying exe to desktop, but music still won't play. The funny thing is, I imported the music clips themselves and they play fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ContaxMan Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 It may be worth doing a test using just one or two images and another music track. Try using an MP3 music track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt S Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Did you protect the wma file? Just for giggles, try encoding the file as an mp3 instead and put that in your slideshow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
