Is there some way I can insert and play these additional audio files, accessible via separate button

Question

I am converting a CD-ROM course to an online format with that software.
In the majority of slides created I have used the Import Audio function to insert a primary audio file containing important curriculum information.
This file typically activates the moment you open the slide.
So far so good.
However, in many slides I also need to insert some secondary audio files.
While the Import Audio function permits me to splice several files into one, this isn't what I want.
Instead, I need to insert one or more additional audio files that can be activated independently via separate buttons on a given slide.
I can in fact do this with the Insert Button function, but in the process a Windows Media Player file opens when I convert the project into HTML.
My question:
Is there some way I can insert and play these additional audio files, accessible via separate buttons, without creating and opening a Windows Media Player file?
Thanks

It is hard to assess the situation without sitting at your computer and having a look myself.  First, if you're seeing space savings I doubt all your files are a compressed format.  Frequently if you try compressing a compressed format file such as AAC (don't confuse with AIFF) you will actually find the file gets larger because there is overhead to compression and if it cannot compress any more then you end up just adding overhead on top of no savings.  Second, normally if you zip the iTunes library it would basically make it inaccessible to iTunes and iTunes would make you a brand new library or at least flag all your tracks as missing (as you are seeing ain part).
I don't know what computer you are running, which operating system, which version of iTunes.  Unless they have done something radical in Lion in terms of letting you zip your iTunes folder and still have it functional, you either didn't zip the whole thing, or... I don't know.  One scenario is that somehow your media have been split up and you have them in several locations.  One isn't really part of your library except for 80 tracks, so when you compressed it (and I still am puzzled by the compression unless it was AIFF files you were no longer using), it didn't really make much difference to the playability.  Then you have an untouched library elsewhere.
Use the Reveal In Finder command to see where some of those problem files are located vs. where the playable files are located.
