Powerpoint - mp3

I can add an mp3 file from an external disk drive (which I use for backup) to my presentation and it plays fine. But when I try to add a song from my C: drive the song is there but it won't play in the presentation. What could possible be the difference between these two files?

    I suspect you have the MP3 too "deep" in the folders path.  PowerPoint has a known issue if the path/filename is to long.  Try placing it in a folder with a short path.  I.E. 
    C:\test and see if the problem is resolved.
