I have found that by setting the Slide Transitions options, making sure
to select "No Sound" and then clicking "Apply to All Slides" then going
back and selecting a music file to play for the first slide, then the
music will continue throughout the presentation.
An option you might consider is the "Push Up" for slide transition. You
have to rehearse the slide transition timing and that is possible. Just
go to the top menu and click on "Slide Show", go down to "Rehearse Timings".
Good luck!
