Free Wavs found on Internet |

****Please keep this in mind before clicking on a link below: Most of
the wavs will not work. It usually seems like it's the best ones
that won't work. If you keep looking for a particular wav, you will
often eventually find it! There are NO full-length songs available for free
on the Internet. Check these out at
home.**** ****To save, right-click on top of the wav and choose "Save Target As"...save to your "U"--------in the "Save As Type" it must save "Wave Sound" or it will not work (MP3s don't work with PowerPoint) |
