How to Use iTunes Music in PowerPoint Presentations
One of PowerPoint’s charms is its ability to play music during the presentation. Adding music to your presentation is simple, but using a song from your iTunes library requires a few extra steps. Here’s how to use iTunes music in PowerPoint.
Converting iTunes’ AAC Files to MP3
When you purchase a song from the iTunes store, it arrives in your library as a 256 kbps AAC file. There’s no argument that this file format isn’t popular. As you may have guessed, PowerPoint doesn’t support this type of file. So how do you use music from your iTunes library in your presentation? You’ll need to convert the files to MP3 format.
To do this, open iTunes, select the “Edit” tab, and select “Preferences” from the drop-down menu.
The “General Preferences” window will appear. In the “General” tab, select “Import Settings.”
Select the arrow next to the “Import Using” option and choose “MP3 Encoder” from the list. Click “Ok.”
