Make sure it is a regular non-protected download. If it is an Apple Music track, it cannot be used outside of Apple Players and programs.

Music not working for Slideshow in Photos Project When I add a song from iTunes to the Slideshow & then try playing the slideshow, the music doesn't play. I've bought the song to see if that was the issue to no avail. I've even set the slideshow duration to "Fit to Music," and it still didn't work. I thought maybe I might have to export it to see if the music would play then, so I exported it and then played it, and then music didn't play then either. It's not subscription-based, so I know that's not the issue. What could be causing the music from playing?

Can't play my own downloaded (non-DRM) music in Slideshow Project I've selected photos for a slideshow project and am trying to choose my own music to play during the slideshow. I'm using songs that I copied from a CD and imported into Apple Music, so they're not DRM-protected, and they appear bold which seems to be the indication that they can be used. When I click on them they select properly and a check appears next to each selected song. The drop-down for Music / Theme Songs is set to 'Music'. Yet when I start the slideshow, it only plays the standard Apple theme song rather than my own music. Any help appreciated.

I have followed all steps shown on the internet but I get the error message “PowerPoint can not insert audio from selected file. Verify the path and file format are correct then try again” I see that someone has already asked about this but no answer was helpful. so if someone could help that would be brilliant!
