I am trying to create a power point slide show with music, and want to save
it onto a CD that will play on any computer, even computers that do not have
power point. Is that possible?

Yes. If you use File | Package for CD, you'll get what you want.

I would choose "copy to folder" when prompted and then burn the contents of
the folder (not the folder itself) to the CD. This is more reliable than
choosing "copy to CD" directly.

It certainly can be done.
You just need a conversion tool to help you.
First, you need to convert your PowerPoint to video format first, then
burn it to DVD or CD. A DVD disc is very convenient for sharing and
distributing.
Here you can have a try at Acoolsoft PPT2DVD.
It is designed to help you easily convert PowerPoint to DVD with
everything in the orginal PowerPoint retained.
Besides, users are allowed to create eye-popping DVD menus for easy
and quick navigation. Also, with the build-in DVD burner you can
produce PowerPoint DVD movies without attendance.
