Making multiple songs play during a slideshow

I have a slideshow I created in iDVD 6 that is approximately 35 minutes. I would like to have several different songs cycle through as the slideshow runs. I created a playlist in iTunes with the songs I want. When I'm editing the slideshow and I click the media button and then the audio button, it gives me my iTunes song list, but not any of the playlists I've created in iTunes. What am I doing incorrectly? As it is, I can only get a single song to play on a loop during the slideshow. Thanks for any guidance.

Welcome to discussions, Chris
Burn your Playlist to an audio CD.
Then open that CD in iTunes.
Highlight all of the songs.
Go to Advanced and select Join CD Tracks.
That will make one long song in your iTunes library that you can import into your project.

Only one iTunes song plays during DVD slideshow

I have built a slideshow in iDVD6 that's about fifteen minutes long. I added four purchased iTunes tracks, grouped in a playlist, into the audio well in iDVD. The Project Info shows the four tracks.
Only one track plays, however, on the burned DVDs. It repeats itself several times until the slideshow is finished.
In reading other posts about audio, I've noticed that too little available space on the drive with the project can sometimes make iDVD a bit wonky.
I have about 15 gigs available - could that be causing this problem?

15GB should be sufficient, although more always is better.
On the chance that some preference or permission is corrupted, try the following standard stuff that we do when an iLife program is acting weird: Close iDVD and trash the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app on your Mac.
If that doesn't solve it, as a workaround you could try joining the songs in your playlist into one total soundtrack. You could do this by putting your playlist into an iMovie project and then exporting your playlist onto your desk top as an aiff file. (File/Export/Expert Settings/Share/Sound to aiff) Then import that file directly into your iDVD project, or into iTunes and from there into your iDVD project.
Another way is to export your playlist to a musical CD, and then import all the songs at once from the CD back into iTunes, checking the "Join CD tracks" option on the iTunes Advanced menu. That will join all the tracks into one long clip.
Perhaps someone else will come up with a better suggestion. Good luck with this.

Adding multiple songs to a single slideshow in LR3

Hello!
So, I am trying to create a slideshow in Lightroom 3.4.1. I'm on a mac, and have been able to succesfully pull in a single song from my iTunes library. However, there are two issues:
1. My slideshow is a bit long, and I would like to have 2-3 songs play during it. However, lightroom will only let me import one song. I even created a playlist in iTunes, then tried to import the whole playlist, but again, it would not let me. I could only import one song
2. Some of my music in iTunes can be imported, but about 70% of my library is 'gray'--or not clickable. I can't figure out why some of my songs can be imported and some cannot.
Thanks for any help!

You can't use more than one song. If you want to, you'll have to use a tool to splice them together into a single file.
You can't use DRM-infected music in LR.

How Do I select Multiple songs to Use with Slideshow?

I am running Lightroom 4 on an iMac with OS - Lion. Love it!
I am trying to create a slideshow with music in the background but I cannot seem to select more than 1 song. How can I select multiple songs?
Thanks
Adrian

The slide show feature in Lightroom isn't really very flexible or feature packed. I suspect the design was to provide professional photographers a quick way to show proofs to clients. You will have to use other software for what you intend to accomplish. I'm going to be creating a slide show with about 500 images soon. My intention is to create the slide show with Lightroom and export as video. Then I will use Premiere Elements and import the video and lay down the music track. There are easier ways to do it, I know. But I don't do this kind of thing very often and don't plan to purchase more software that would make it easier.

Content from one song played during another

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for any help. I have a 30gb 5th gen iPod, running with windows.
During a song, the music paused for a moment, as well as the track time, and then a few seconds of music from another song played, paused again, and then the original song continued. I listened to the song a 2nd and 3rd time and it did the same thing, at about the same point in the song. The ipod also did this during another song by the same artist. However, other music was fine.
I have listened to these songs before on my ipod, and it never did this. I listened to the file in iTunes right after this and it did not do this, nor any other of the media players on my computer. I had even been playing this song earlier in the day with iTunes, and it didn't do that.
Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm trying to avoid a restore because it takes so long to update after, but if no other choice it's what I will do.

Have you tried deleting that file from your iPod and then transferring it back again as it may have become corrupted?
Or delete the offending files from iTunes and re import them again and transfer to the iPod.
Although rare, I've heard of this when a part of the file called the "data fork" becomes corrupted. The usual cure is to delete and re import the song.

How can I play only part of a song (stop the song short) during a slideshow in iphoto and fade into the next song?

I am making a slideshow and I only want to play half of one song and fade into the next. How can I do this?

You need an slideshow app that gives you more control over the Soundtrack.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Making multiple tracks play as one track in a certain order during shuffle

Many albums have songs that are ment to be played in order as if they were one song such as a song with a prelude. On most CDs, these are stored as separate tracks that get played out of order during shuffle. Is there a way to link specific tracks together so they will always be played in order even during shuffle?

My Pink Floyd got "Spliced" Together a long time ago. Every heard of "Audacity? Free and its been around a while. Works like a charm. Runs on Windows or Mac. Have fun and it was a pleasure helping you out:

Is there a way to make the audio play continuously so that the same song play during the intro and slideshows without stopping and restarting?

Recently returned from vacation and wish to make a dcd slidshow with the same music all the way through without it stopping and starting with each new event slideshow. Can this be done?

No.

Any way to see song title during photo slideshow?

I enjoy music with photo slideshows and would love to find a way to see the title of the song that is playing. I have a large music library and sometimes a song comes on that I either love or hate and it would be nice to know the artist/title. Any way?

It's not quite the same thing but if you set your screensaver to play slideshows and then selected to play music, say the shuffle option after 2 minutes (default) the screensaver would kick in and you have your slideshows complete with music, if you then heard a track you wanted info about you could just kill the screensaver by pressing the menu button.

How do I turn down the music when a video plays during a slideshow in iphoto?

The slideshow music volume does go down slightly when a video plays but sometimes it can be difficult to hear what is being said. Is there anyway to have the music turn off when a video plays as part of a slideshow, or as least control how low it is? Thanks for your help!

You can't. There used to be a mute music during video play option but that never worked very well. To get it as you want you'll have to create the slideshow in iMovie where you can add and control the audio tracks.
I prefer using iMovie 6 HD for that as it give users by far the best control over audio tracks.

Audio problem- Multiple songs playing at once

Hello,
I have a problem with playing a song. Everything seems fine
until the song reaches about half way and then the same song starts
playing ontop of the same song. First you hear the song, then you
hear two songs, then three, and so on.
What am I doing wrong? I can't figure it out. Any help would
be great.
Thanks
Bernie

I would say that if you want the song to loop that it may be
better to use a Sound Object and a little code. so if you would be
interested in this route - remove the sound from the timeline.
first - set up the sound by selecting it in the library and
right-click select 'properties...' - then in the properties panel
check the 'export for ActionScript' box and give the sound an
'Indentifier' name - this will allow you to use the sound file
within the document and point to it in code by using the ID name.
next - make a new layer called 'actions' on the main timeline
if you don't have one already - select the first frame and enter
the code below - replace the 'IDname.mp3' with the ID name of your
sound file you've assigned.
see the 'sound.start()' method below - the second parameter
in it refers to the amount of 'loops' that it will run before
stopping - you can set this any way you would like.

Multiple songs playing at once!

If you get a song within 1-2 seconds of completion, and you press the left arrow key (to go back to the start), it starts playing the song over, as well as playing the next song in the playlist simultaneously!

Duplicate texts, and multiple songs playing at once

This has happened a couple of times now. If I need to restart my phone for any reason, my phone resends old texts. I am not sure if my phone is defective or if there is maybe a setting I can change?
And now a new problem. I was trying to listen to music through bluetooth, in my car and it started playing 2 songs at the same time.

Song playing during video on FC Express

hi so i've got a song that i've imported from itunes and i'd like it to play in place of audio on my video, except when i delete the audio and add in the song to the audio track, all it does is beeps. it doesn't play the song, it just beeps. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Sounds like the audio needs to be rendered. What format is the file you imported? FCE is happiest with aif files; you can convert formats in iTunes. Be aware that music you've purchased from the iTunes store can't be legally used in FCE.

Music will not play from iTunes during a slideshow that is run from flickr. ATV says turn on homesharing...it already is on! HELP!!!!

Music will not play during a slideshow launched from Flickr. After choosing music and starting slideshow, the screen says "loading" and it never stops. Under the computers section it says, turn on home sharing in iTunes on the computer with the music library. It is on but apple tv wont recognize it. I've signed out and signed back in over and over and home sharing is on but music wont play. Is this a bug with flickr? Music will play when i launch a slideshow from the iPad but it doesnt have as many cool options for slideshows as flickr does. I want the flickr slideshow to play with music!!! Grrrrrrrr!!!!! Can anyone help???

ok, major miracle. it is now working. here is how i fixed it, and it was a stroke of luck to even find this. opened iTunes, went to edit, then to preferences. box pops up, went to the sharing icon and clicked share my local library on my local network. then scrolled down and checked all the boxes that were applicable. for the heck of it i went through all the other headings to see what else might be hiding from me. i never thought this would do anything but went to ATV, selected flickr, chose some music and wa-la....its playing. also, under the computers heading, it still does not show my iTunes library but clearly its there someplace. oh well, it works...i'm happy! your reply inspired me to keep working so thank you for that!
