Thank You Zamzar.Com

Tonight my Fiance and I were struggling getting ready for our wedding which is only days away now on Nov 28th. We were up tonight trying to put together the slide show for our Groom's supper and Wedding Reception when we could not insert music files from ITunes. ARGGGG!!! I kept getting this error message claiming Power Point could not locate the file or verify its contents Bla Bla Bla. It was one of those boxes you get and then hit the OK button but are never really sure why you hit OK only because it tells you too.

So I hit OK and then further investigate why this problem keeps occurring keeping in mind I want to go to bed at a decent hour since I work the next day. Ahh Haaa... I find the first problem... the song that was Purchased through ITunes was downloaded and formatted as a MPEG4 file. I have never seen that but then realize after scouring Google for a couple minutes that MPEG4 file formats are for video play back through ITunes or Quicktime software. Sometimes I just hate Apple especially when on a PC. I will admit I do own a colorful some generation IMAC as well.

I then fight Windows Media Player thinking I can just re save the song and have it zipped or ripped and reformatted to a playable file. Yeah who was I kidding!! It was impossible so my lesson for others is to not waste your time. I was then back on Google searching forums and other blogs about the problem and stumbled upon my evening Savior.

The site I found located at www.zamzar.com was exactly what I needed to make my night a breeze. This site basically reformats various music and video files for play back among various programs. I had to upload my song file and then send my email address as Zamzar would then reformat my file to what I had selected and give me a link to the web where I could then re-download the reformatted file. They only give you a 24 hour time period to do this, so one must pay attention although the three songs my Fiance and myself did only took a couple minutes total. It was amazing how quick it happened and the real nice thing about all this was its price... Free with no adds to bother you throughout the process.

I hope this helps out others that find themselves in the same scenario my fiance and I found ourselves in along with helping out future Power Point makers that run ITunes on their PC. A big Thanks to Zamzar.com for allowing me to sleep a little sooner tonight and for making our Big Day that much more special!!!
