More than one song in iDVD iLife '09?

this may be a very simple problem, but I cant figure out/know if it's possible to have more than one song play in my slideshow in iDVD in iLife '09. I have one song playing, but want a different one after the first ends. Can anyone help?

Create a playlist in iTunes in the order that you want the songs to play then click on the music icon in iDVD click on the playlist and drag into the music area. Also, recently a number of MAC users have experienced a couple of second audio drop in the third song after burning the slideshow on a DVD. Please post if you have the same outcome.

Can more than one song be selected for slideshow on IPhoto? If so how

Am trying to put together slideshow of granddaughter's birthday party but want to use more than one song as have a lot of photos.

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I have taken that and tried to create a document on how to do this. You will see some different/additional comments. My idea is to share it with everyone once it is finalized. I am about ready to try and walk through all the steps for real but would ask you to read this over before I commit several hours more to this project. Any comments are appreciated. I am concerned about steps 9 through 13. Not sure i have it right. Any comments will be appreciated. Maury

How to create a Slideshow on DVD
with music
using iPhoto and iTunes
as input sources
1. Select, crop, and fix slides needed from the iPhoto library. Put them into a newly named folder. (Not a slide show.)
2. Import this folder into iMovie using KenBurns ON.
3. Add any necessary transitions between various segments of resulting movie.
(This should be the finished visual project. Using this write down the exact timing needed for stop/start each segment and the total length of the movie.)
4. Go to iTunes and select various tunes/songs/music desired.
5. Go to Amadeus and open a new file. (This single will end up the same length as the visual project).
6. Open JACK to connect iTunes to Amadeus.
7. Choose a tune, find the correct snippet of music and adjust to stop/start times from 3 above. Move your snippet to Amadeus. Use cross fade so one snippet will blend into the next one. Load these in the correct order of the slideshow segments.
(Note: Music purchased from the iTunes Store is "protected" in ACC and will no render into another format. This means it cannot be used in this example. A major inconvenience.)
8. Your result will be string of snippets strung together in proper order and in total making up a single file the same length as your slideshow.
9. Paste this new music file into the iMovie.
10, Close iMovie.
11. Open iDVD, select your theme and leave the menu window open.
12. Open the iMovie project file (Control-click on it and select Show Package Contents) and navigate to the Shared Movies/iDVD folder.
13. Drag the .mov file in there into the open iDVD window being sure not to drop it into any menu drop zones.
(You'll know if you are in a drop zone (if there are any) since a text link appears with the same name as the movie file you're dragging.)
(This allows iDVD to do the rendering thus eliminating two renderings on the same file which reduces image quality......)
14 Save the project to Disk Image instead of burning directly to disk.
15. Open the disk image and launch DVD Player.
This will let you check out the finished project with DVD Player before committing to disk. You'll be able to check out the audio sync, typos etc.
16. When you are ready to burn to disk use File>Disk Utility.
(See: Burning a disk image file on a CD or DVD in Mac OS X.) The first step, saving to Disk Image is the encoding process and takes the longest time. Often it will seem like it's hung on the audio encoding but let it go on and on, as it often is the longest part of the encoding process.
17. This should be the finished product.
18. Snail Mail DVD to adorable grandchild and wait for parents to call saying it made them both cry. (Of course, this implies you are a grandparent.)

About item 16, is there any way to tell the difference between "hung up" and "encoding" while it is going on?

Slideshow music. More than one song

So I have Ilife 08' I would like to make a slide show. I added a few photos to a new slideshow. Then I clicked the music icon and added a song. Yay for me so far.
Now I wish to add more than one song. So I clicked the Settings icon which is so conveniently placed to the music icon. So I had two options for music playing
A) Repeating music, music track repeats
and
B)Adjust slides to fit length of music.
Now, I want to put more than one track. How?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Create a playlist in iTunes and then select that playlist from the Media pane in iPhoto. Just click and select the playlist icon.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

By chapters do you mean different slideshows? Or are you referring to chapters in a movie from iMovie or Final Cut Express?
If you're referring to an iDVD slideshow then create a playlist in iTunes with the songs you want and then in iDVD's slideshow go to the Media/Audio pane and drag the playlist icon into the music bin.

More than one song in slide show

Can you help me figure out how to put more than one song in a slide show? It seems that I can only put one song and it keeps repeating itself. Help?

Hi Mommy tbone
Welcome to apple discussions. According to apple's help menu you can do this by creating a custom playlist and then using it within iDvd. But in practice (personal choice only) I avoid iTunes completely due to DRM issues I've experienced in the past when playing a dvd. And that includes making a playlist within iTunes. Hence I prefer using QT Pro to meld audio tracks together (that or iMovie 6). I've even been known to first burn an audio track to CD and importing the audio directly into either iMovie or iDvd. I then use the new track in iDvd's audio drop well. So in a nutshell, those are the approaches that are available to you. Feel free to choose any of the above or whatever works best for your iDvd project.

Sharing More than One Movie with iDVD????

Okay.. I would like to know if there is another way to burn MORE than one movie an iDVD project. It seems that sending the movie straight to iDVD creates it's own project, and when you try to send another movie, it creates a completely different project. I know I can send a movie to Media browser but the quality of the movie is much better when I share it via the command in iMovie 09 (Shrare->iDVD). I've noticed that the file type is different when you send it to iDVD than when you put it in Media Browser as well.
Currently this is what I do.. Share it to iDVD.. Then I save that iDVD project to my desktop. I close iDVD, and start sharing my second movie. I then Control-Click on the first iDVD project and choose "Show Package Contents". I then dig into the trenches of that file to find the movie file. I then drag it to the desktop and delete the first iDVD project. When the new iDVD project gets made, I simply drag the file on my desktop into the iDVD project I want it in and then it works. This seems like a so un-apple way to do this though. I think iMovie definetly needs and update here. It's great if you ony want to burn a 1 movie to iDVD, but what if you want to do more. There should be a way to select multiple movies to send to iDVD or the option of adding a new imported movie to the current project in iDVD.
Am I missing something or is there another way to do this? Is there a good export option in QuickTime? DV doesn't work because the quality I get is horrible. Somehow the shared to iDVD movie is the best quality and it's a QuickTime file via h.264. Is that my best export option? Sharing with the Media browser creates a mv4 file that's much smaller in size, even at the largest setting. The frames are more jumpier when iDVD finishes with it than the h.264 file.
Any better suggestions? Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple. I can't find it anymore on this website.

Q:Also, where do I go to make suggestions for Apple.
A: Launch iDvd and then scroll down to Provide iDvd Feeback.

Can't gift more than one song at a time

Does anyone know how to gift more than one song at a time (not an album, but non-contiguous songs off one or multiple albums)?
I tried adding them to my wishlist so I could add in several, but I already own several of the songs and you can't add songs you already own.
Of course, this would be resolved if they would just bring back the shopping cart, but for now, I have no idea how to accomplish what should be a very simple task.

It is, indeed, frustrating, and seems short-sighted on Apple's part. Imagine a shop owner saying, "You can buy anything you want for yourself, as many as you like, but if it's a gift, you can only buy one."
I did receive a nice response from Apple confirming that this is, in fact, impossible to accomplish:
Dear Michael,
Welcome to iTunes Store Customer Support. I am Animesh and I will be assisting you today.
Thank you for your interest in giving an iTunes Store or App Store gift. I understand that you would like to gift multiple songs from different albums. I understand that this is important for you.
Michael, please note that you can buy a song, an album, a video, an audiobook, a TV episode or season, a movie, or an application for anyone who has a valid email address. However, there is no such option to gift multiple songs at a time from different albums. You are required to gift them individually, also the Wishlist feature is for personal usage and not gifting.
I can realize that it must be difficult for you. I have felt the same way in the past when I've found myself in similar circumstances. I have found in situations like this that voicing your opinion is a good way to get the "ball rolling".
Please know that Apple takes the feedback from our customers very seriously. This is the reason for our feedback page - to create a forum where our users can vent, praise or share whatever feelings they have to allow us to meet your needs, and grow as a company.
I took the liberty of submitting your feedback to Apple on your behalf. I would also encourage you to share this link with all of your friends and family who wish to submit the feedback, and have them all submit the same request.
Here is the link for you.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I know sometimes it feels as though submitting feedback will not yield results, so I will also invite you to check out the following link. This is a letter from Apple's CEO addressing customers who purchased an iPhone very early on at $599, then the price went down to $399 shortly after. Mr. Jobs heard our customers and Apple responded accordingly.
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/openiphoneletter/
I hope that you will consider sharing your thoughts on the feedback page.
Michael, we very much appreciate your concerns, and if there's anything else I can do for you, just respond to this email and let me know. Thank you for supporting the iTunes Store.
Sincerely,
Animesh

Setting Equalizer for more than one song at a time

Is there any way to set the equalizer setting for more than one song at a time. For example, if I have a classical music album with 10 songs, can I set the equalizer for "classical" for all 10 songs at once? It's a pain to have to do it for each one individually. I tried using the "shift" key, but to no avail.
Thanks,
Joe The Author

highlight all the songs you want then right click and go to get info. in the options tab at the top there is an equalizer preset option.

How can I select more than one song from the search results?

I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
I hope some Windows user can help me out.

Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

Dear Barbara B.
Thank you for your response. Good idea about combining the songs in another program first.
Thank you for your time and thoughts.

How can i select more than one song from drop down search bar

sometimes to make a playlist i will search my music library for a word & then add all the songs with that word in the title
the drop down search bar will not allow me to select more than one song
or
will it? & i just can't suss out how... maybe you know?
if so, please tell me~!!!
thank you

hey i tried that before i posted this question... i tried all of the normal ways one would use to select more than one item...
any click of any kind at all takes you out of the search drop down & into the main itunes window... where you are deposited back into the songs alphabetically... no longer are you seeing the results of the search...
sigh
at the risk of sounding like one of those people, the "old" itunes did not have this problem...
grrrr... it seems to be that pesky drop down menu~ if only you could see the search results in the main list as opposed to only in the drop down thing

Can I import more than one song at a time?

Hello all, this is my first post so go easy on me...lol
I just purchased my first iPOD today and seem to notice so far that I can only import one song at a time into iTunes library. I cannot select more than one song at a time by holding down the shift button. These are songs that I already have on my computer, not songs just ripped through iTunes. Also how can I get album art onto all of my songs? I've noticed that only one album so far has album art on it. The others don't. Thanks in advance.
Toshiba Tecra 8100 Windows XP Pro

Thanks Rachyl, I'll try that when I get off of work. What about the album art? How can I make sure I get it every time in the future. Can I rip my CD's using another software to make sure they are tagged right?
BTW I used to live in NC not too long ago and went to school there....GO HEELS!

How can I add more than one song to fit the length of the slideshow

I would like to add more than one song to my slideshow. I do not want to repeat the same song more than once. Is there a way to add more than one song to a slideshow?

Great - unfortunately it is not intutative - but simple - once you know the secret - and at least in iphoto '08 it acts like you can select multiple songs using the command key but it only plays the first one
