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.

How do I add more than one song to slideshow music? (was BG)

How to add more than one song to slideshow music?

You can't use multiple tracks. Merging them into one, using something like Audacity is the way to go. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Using more than one song in a slideshow

Hi, has anyone figured out how to use more than one song in a slide show to play on the appletv?
I set it up in Iphoto, but it seems to only allow me to choose one song. I'm having a party and want to have my slideshow play continuously, but would like to have a bunch of songs cycling thru.
thanks,
Jeff

In the slideshow settings, choose music and choose a playlist.
In itunes, add as many songs as you want to play to the playlist.

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?

More than one song to slideshow

Is it possible to add more than one song to a slide show in iPhoto for the iPad? One song get's very boring after a while. It's easy on the macbook but can't find a way on the iPad.

You can't do it via the Photos app itself, but a workaround is to start music playing in the iPod app itself first and then start a (non-music) slideshow in Photos.

Add more than one song to photo slideshow

How can I have more than one song playing on the photo slideshow?

Hello Lmaemacmillan,
This can be done by tapping multiple songs when choosing music for your slideshow.
To play music while the slideshow plays, tap to turn on Play Music.
iPhoto comes with a collection of theme music; to choose one of those songs, tap Theme Music. To select a song on your device, tap Music. If you select more than one song, they play in the order you tapped them.

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 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

After updating ITunes, it, ITunes started loosing my music files and stopped playing more than one song at a time also there would be duplicate songs in the same folders.What now?

Sound like something messed up somehow. Maybe you can consider reinstalling the drivers again? @28.86.2.0

More than one song for one slideshow?

Is it possible to play more than one song, or like a playlist, for a slideshow? I have tried selecting a whole playlist and it shows how many items are selected, but after the first song plays it plays again and again. My slideshow is over 1,000 pictuers long and I do not want to continue to play the same song over and over, is there any way to do this?

I have play lists that I select and that play with slide shows - This may be one of these things like saving photo edits that seem to randomly work and ramdomly do not
At one time it looked like selecting multiple songs would work but it seems not to but, at least for me, selecting a play list does work.
Please report to Apple -- iPhoto menu ==> Provide iPhoto Feedback

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.

Adding more than one song to a slide show in Elements 11

Most of my slideshows are longer than one song and I get tired of it just repeating. Can I have more than one song in a slide show and how do I do this?

I like to use different songs for different parts of slide shows and also to edit out some of the extra verses in some of the songs I use, so what I do is to use Wavepad (free download) to edit the desired songs. I save each one in a separate file (adding a descriptor such as "short" to the original title). Then, I open a new file in Wavepad, save it as the name of the slide show (such as Graduation Medley), then copy & paste each song from its respective file, in the correct sequence I want them to play into the new file. Be sure to save at the end, in between, all the time.
I go back to iTunes and import the new file into the Library. Then I go back to iPhoto, select the relevant slide show, click on the Music button and select that file for my music for the slide show. I then go to the Settings and click the button that says "Fit photos to music".
You can also create a playlist from the edited files and add the playlist as specified in the other posts.
When previewing the slide show, if the music for the 2nd section starts too soon or too late, I adjust the time for a couple of beginning section's slides, add an extra one in, or maybe even reedit the music.
Hope this helps.

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.

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.
