Hi,
I am showing a few TAFE people how to add sound and music to Powerpoint and I would like to know what software is needed to convert music files from a CD to MP3, .wav, .midi etc formats which can be inserted into Powerpoint presentations.

iTunes usually reliable,  quality a question mark...

Quicktime is my preferred method as I can output as AAC (mp4) and save as .mov and powerpoint usually accepts.

An audio editor is very handy tool to use and acclimatise one self with. Audacity is free and very good with lots of options or just edit within QT pro if have.

Experiment and play you will be surprised what can be achieved.

Oh, one last thing large audio files will not be embedded within powerpoint presentation a link to your file will be created so make sure all files are in the same folder when outputting and saving file elsewhere.

Cheers!
