I have a slide show which I've designed to run on our community closed tv
circuit. The slide show presently consist of about 50 slides running in
continous loop. I would like to add music. I have been successful up to a
point. I wish to have the music continue to run through the last track. At
present, when the slide show completes its first run and begins again, the
music also stops and reverts to beginning. Any help in how to run the
continuous slide show and a continuous (non-disrupted) audio track would be
greatly appeciated.

Easy way: repeat the images until the music ends...is that an option?

I thought about that. I would probably have to rename the slides each time I
duplicated them. I was really hoping to run without doing this. I thought
by creating a playlist with Microsoft Media I'd be have to have continous
play but that didn't work.

Might want to have a look here

Play sounds across multiple slides (A WAV runs through it)

Michael,

I looked at that link before but it doesn't appear to answer my problem.
Need to allow music to continue running until the end (24 tracks) and to
resume from track 1 once completed. At the same time the slide show will do
continuous loops through 50 slides. Don't know if this possible but hope so.

Can you have one blank slide at the beginning of the presentation just
to initialize the music and never go back to that slide? On the last
slide (now #51) you would have to have a command that brings the
presentation back to slide 2.

I did just that procedure at a reunion we had this past summer. I combined
all the music as one file. In my case it was 4-5 selections. I used a
freeware piece of software called Audacity by Sound Forge to combine all the
selections.

I then set the transition timings between each image so that the slide show
ended roughly when the music ended, set the sound to play for 999 slides
even though I only had 63. I then set the presentation to loop until someone
presses Esc. It ran for 3 days, none stop

Nate,

If having a blank slide at the beginning would help resolve this, I
could do that. Just need to know how to set up the slide/music to run. Any
help here.

Michael,

The slides are only displayed just long enough for someone to read the
information. Most are up no more than 10-15 seconds. So for 40 slides the
show would last about 10 minutes before looping. The audio cut (24 tracks)
is about 72 minutes. So I could duplicate the slides 7-8 times to complete
the end of the audio play. This is what Susan suggested.

I think you mean Sand.. Her suggestion would work. Just
a matter of getting the right timings. Why so many tracks for such a short
presentation?
