Why Can’t You Directly Add Apple Music to Powerpoint

As mentioned before, Apple Music encrypts its music with M4P, an audio format with DRM, preventing users from editing or using the songs on third-party apps. It’s not a surprise that M4P songs are not recognizable with PowerPoint.

PowerPoint supports certain audio formats including MP3, WAV, WMA (Windows Media Audio), AU (UX Audio), MID, MIDI, and AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format). It also supports DRM-free M4A songs purchased from iTunes. Only by encoded in such formats can the song be added to PowerPoint.
