How do I embed music on Powerpoint?

Question

I have a huge assortment of music in my Real Player library that I occasionally use for PPT presentations. Problem is...I always have to haul my laptop with me to cue up the song to my presentation.

How do I (if I can) embed a song within a presentation? If this is possible, can I then cue the song (once it's embeded) to start at a certain point?

I am not too computer savvy, but I have taught myself a few things here and there.

Thanks for the help.

Just to make sure I am clear, I want to make sure when I play a PPT presentation, the music I add from my laptop will play on another computer.

That's my concern. I don't want to have to haul my laptop to work all the time to cue up the music from my Real Player library to my presentation. I want everything to flow smoothly in one presentation with one piece of equipment. I just want to insert my flash drive into the office computer, load my PPT presentation and have the music associated with the presentation play.

Hope this helps.
