"Looping" music files?

[Bryan Anderson]

I'm not sure if this is possible, but here's my problem:

I have a small slideshow that consists of 21 slides. I can add an
mp3 file to slide #1 without any problems. I can get the music to
play automatically and I can get it to play to the end of slide 21.
I can get the slideshow to loop so that after #21 it goes to #1.

My problem is that the music re-starts then at #1. Is there a way
to get the music to start at #1 and to loop itself indepentantly
of the slides:

slide: 1 .... 21 -> 1 .... 21 -> 1 .... 21 -> 1 .... 21 -> 1 .... 21
music: <----------------><----------------><----------------><------

Any help would be great.

You could always add a slide 0 with 0 timings, put your music on that slide, and
have your slides loop 1-21
