Slideshow music from itunes into iDVD.  PLEASE HELP!!!

I am new to itunes and idvd, however I have had my mac since November.
I am making a slideshow for a bachelorette party and wedding, and really want to be able to customize the music that plays through the slideshow.
I have spent about 4 hours trying to figure this out by internet searches, experimenting, etc., so now I am asking for help here!!!
I want to put a playlist (that is in itunes) with 22 songs into the slideshow in idvd. However, I only want to play the first 30 seconds - 1 minute of the song, and I went through each song and right clicked, went to get info, and changed the end times that way. Did that for each song. When I import the playlist into the project in idvd, it does either 2 things 1) will only play the first song listed on the slideshow (over and over) or 2) will play the ENTIRE set of music, without any of my end time changes made (like 96 minutes worth!!!)
So... my question is, how do I do this? 22 songs, just the intro period of each, to move with the slideshow?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated, I am about to pull my hair out!!!
Thanks!
Tessa

In order to have more than one piece of music play in a slideshow, you first need to create a playlist containing that music. Then, when you select the music for the slideshow, select _only the playlist title_. Do not select the separate song titles.
I only want to play the first 30 seconds - 1 minute of the song
You need to edit your music using some application other than iTunes. You could use GarageBand for the type of editing you describe. However, music purchased from iTunes could still come with the DRM protection, which has been known to cause problems when used in a project. To avoid any issues, you should take these preliminary steps.
1. Burn the music in question to a CD.
2. Reimport the music as an AIFF file. iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing>Import using: (drop down menu) AIFF encoder
3. This music can now be imported into GarageBand for editing.
After you do your editing, create a playlist of the edited music, and use in your project as described at the beginning of my post.
I hope this helps.

  • How do I get music from itunes into my slideshow in elements 10

    What is the procedure to get music from itunes into a slideshow in elements 10?

    If your music is in iTunes own format, you'll need to convert it first. Elements works best with .wav files. Here is the Apple article on making conversions:

  • HT1451 Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!

    Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!
    Hours and Hours of renaming, adding cover photos and so on have been for nothing. Itunes cannot find the files since they're not in the library at all!
    I still have the music on my computer but don't want to add it as it is, as I have spent a lot of time "fixing" it! PLEASE HELP!

    Did you use spotlight to search? (I'm assuming you have a Mac as given above despite this thread being in the Windows forum). How long have you used iTunes on this computer? Is there a backup to your library, perhaps an only copy of it on a machine you've "retired". Is the media present in the media folder? (Yes, you've answered that earlier.) If so then the media files should have absorbed all the tag changes that you made and reimporting the media into a new library might not be a complete disaster, though playlists, playcounts, ratings etc. would be irretrievably lost.

  • I cannot burn a CD from iTunes...please help!

    I desperately need to back up all the music I have purchased and I cannot burn a CD from iTunes for some reason. I went through the trouble-shooting on this website and still had no luck. I tried to load the songs into my iPod and transfer them to my laptop iTunes as a backup but there's no way all my music will fit on my Nano. So I'm wondering if there's any other way to back up my music files...can I copy them to a zip drive or external hard drive? I am so not tech-savvy and I have so much money invested in my iTunes library. Thanks in advance!

    Here's a link to the list of iTunes forums:

    Don't worry about it, it's no big deal, I just wanted you to know that in the future you may get more help in there.

  • Exporting Music from Itunes into Premiere Elements

    How can I import an audio clip into a project using Premiere Elements 10?
    All the formats listed from itunes are not accepted.

    Using iTunes you can convert the audio to MP3, which will work in Premiere Elements.
    Unless it's copy protected, as many iTunes songs are. (Which is why I buy my music from Amazon.)
    To get around copy protection you need to burn your iTunes songs as a CD and then use Windows Media Player to rip the music back to your hard drive as an MP3.
    For best results, in fact, download the free program Audacity and use it to convert the MP3s to WAV files, the ideal audio format for Premiere Elements.
    iTunes has been relaxing things a bit lately -- but it used to take a remarkably convoluted system to make their music usable in a video project!

  • Slideshow music from iTunes

    I can't see separate tracks in my iTunes (5.0.4) library when selecting background music for an iPhoto slideshow. I have tried the two options suggested in iPhoto Help (on involves recreating the musi9c library), but neither resolve the issue. I can see and select separate albums within the library, but can't see or select specific individual tracks. Any suggestions?

    HI Richard,
    Take a look at the links and video clips to see if they might help.
    How about these screenshots...
    1. Playlist menu
    2. Library Menu

  • Data DVD from iTunes not working - please help

    I burned a 4 GB playlist as a data DVD from iTunes 7.
    I am trying to put the files on a PC running iTunes 7, and NOTHING is happening. The drive in the PC is DVD-rom and all other DVD's work fine.
    What's the deal?

    What is "Adding to library"?
    Huh?
    This is how you get songs into iTunes.
    Open iTunes.
    Inset the DVD.
    Go to File -> Add File (or folder) to iTunes and select the files/folders on the DVD.
    The DVD is not going to show up in iTunes because it is not an audio CD. It is a data DVD.
    Do not try to Import the DVD because Import is used for audio CDs only.

  • I have problems with importing music to iTunes, can somebody please help me?

    I have all my music organized on an external hard disc in folders for each artist and album, but I can only import some of the folders. It’s like iTunes isn’t registering specific folders, and just skip these folders while the rest of the folders is added as normal. I have tried to add the missing folders manually but it doesn’t help.  I simply can’t add some music to iTunes, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    It's the file attributes. The files will add but when you try to add a folder it doesn't work. You can get a bulk attribute changer progeam like BulkFileChanger and get rid of the Hidden and archive attributes, This fixed my problem.
