  Question
  I want to add a an MP3 song to my presentation and have it loop continuously,
but want to truncate it before the actual end of the song and have it start
from the beginning. With a track from CD, there is an option to enter a stop
after time. I can't find a similar option for sound files. (Using
Powerpoint 2003). Thanks.

  Answer
  You can add Stop Sound Action effect and set the Start to With Previous, the
delay to 120 seconds. But this only works once.
If you are thinking of looping the first 2 minutes, you might want to cut
off the rest of the song using sound editor such as Audacity:
