How to use iTunes music/Apple Music in PowerPoint Presentations

When you are preparing for a powerpoint presentation, a piece of light song you have come across on iTunes several days ago was brought to your mind. That piece of song must be the most suitable background music for the powerpoint. You quickly find that song but your effort ends in failure – you are reminded to pay attention to the file path and format.

Currently, songs you purchased from iTunes Store are in m4a format. PowerPoint does support putting M4A files into your presentations, but PC users need one additional codec by QuickTime so that PowerPoint can convert the files. Mac users already have QuickTime installed, so they can insert the files immediately.

Step 1
Install QuickTime if you do not have it on your computer already. The program is free. This will automatically add the codec.
Step 2
Open your PowerPoint presentation.
Step 3
Go to the page of your presentation where you would like to put the M4A file
Step 4
Select "Sound and Music" from the "Insert" menu and click "From File."
Select the M4A you want and click "Open." It will now appear in your presentation. You can use your mouse to drag it around.

However, if the songs you want to add to Powerpoint is purchased from iTunes before 2009 or songs from Apple Music, you will find that the songs are in DRM-protected M4P format. You can't add them to powerpoint presentations directly.
