How can i add sound to my movie so that it won't take forever to load?

Use smaller files or get a program to compress/edit it.
 
When you're setting up the sound set it to Stream rather than Event, then it will start playing as it downloads rather than wait to fully download before playing. Slainte

 
General rule of thumb is that if a movie is over 200Kb (some would say over 100Kb) it's too long for a dial-up modem user to hang around for and that movie should be divided up into smaller files which load separately.

350Kb is REALLY big and if you're adding music to that then it's not going to get any smaller.

If you're streaming the music in then the size issue is slightly less important but you're still left with an big download for your main movie. Slainte
