I've got a slideshow and I want to add music to it so that the track plays through the entire presentation not just 1 slide.
I know I can record a narration, but I can't seem to add a music track.
Any advice on how I can do this simply?
Or do I need to somehow record the track as the narration?
Any help gratefully received.

Press F1

Seriously, press F1, then type soundtrack in the resultant textbox in powerpoint. Basically, you select a track to play, then mess with the timings to ensure it goes across several slides.

From a longtime attendee of presentations, and giver of a fair few, please dont, unless its really funny(get a second opinion). Few slides, big type, max five bullet points. If in doubt use pictures(try quoting that in court, b4stards..)

OK
Insert the sound as per normal.
Right click - custom animation
Right click on the song title on the right-hand side.
Select how many slides to view before it stops playing.
In timing you can set when it starts and whether it starts automativally or after a click etc.
