How to burn powerpoint to dvd without losing audio files

Not sure what community to post to -- this is a PowerPoint for Mac question

I'm creating a slideshow for a friend's memorial using Powerpoint for Mac 2011.
I have take it to the church in a format that will play from or upload to their computer (assume Windows).
I want to add music, but stopped when I realized it does not stay put in PowerPoint once moved from my Mac.

Problem: Powerpoint will not keep the music files I've inserted. What to do? Should I just axe this and use a more user friendly software for this purpose? I tried saving as a movie and finishing it up in iMovie but it is too complicated for me to figure out how to add the music in there. I am not familiar with iMove and do not have time for anything that is not intuitive.

You would use this procedure to do what you want:

place a copy of the music files in a new folder, (for convenience use the desktop)
add the music to PowerPoint presentation
save the PowerPoint file to the same folder as the music files
copy both the Powerpoint file and the folder with the music files
use PowerPoint or the free PowerPoint Player programme to play back, its available here: PowerPoint Player
