Begin audio part way into presentation

Question

I want to begin music in a presentation about half-way through rather than at the beginning. Is that possible?

Greetings and welcome to the Forum:
This topic has been addressed in numerous previous threads in the Forum. Try searching on the keywords music, hyperlink, soundtrack, etc.
Briefly, if you want to begin a music track that will carry through several slides, it must be created as a Soundtrack for a presentation that encompasses those slides. If these slides are a subset of a larger presentation, then you need to create separate sub-presentations, each containing the particular group of slides. Each then can have its own soundtrack. Finally, you will have to link the presentations together via Hyperlinks.
If you want a music track to play through only one slide, that is easy: Just drag the file icon for the music track into the slide; select it and the assign it to Start Audio in the Build-In menu. Be aware, however, that the track will stop playing as soon as you progress to the next slide.
So, a quick answer to your question is "maybe" but it depends on how you want to structure your presentation.
Good luck.
