Powerpoint Music Transitions?

I know how to put music on several slides for a powerpoint presentation, but I'm not sure if it's possible to make music transitions so the songs don't just stop and then start. Is there any way to do this?

    Unfortunately, no - just hard cuts in and out. PowerPoint 2010 may let you fade in and out, but certainly not cross fade.

    You could download free audio editing software like Audacity (this isn't a spam post, just a suggestion of a well-know free program) http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and either edit all your music together with cross fades or do fades in and out on the individual pieces so they don't sound so harsh when you run them.
