Continuous music on slide show?

I have just started using MF3 and I am having a problem filling my whole slide show with music. I have ripped my music from my CD's using Windows Media Player. I cannot figure how to enter these songs onto the DVD so that I get multiple songs playing through the full DVD. The program will only allows me to put in one song that plays over and over.
I was thinking that maybe I have to rip my songs to MP3 in a different way. Any suggestions?

If you are looking for a fast and dirty solution, just rip those mp3s into one contiguous mp3.

Not eloquent but it should work, if only one file is being allowed to be pulled in.

I have not been able to figure out how to rip multiple songs continuously.

Hi,

There are many audio editors on the market that you can combine the
music files together and then save as one large music file. Then you
import that music file into MF3.
Right below the icon that you import the video is a checkbox. If you
click on that it will time the slides to the length of the music.
A nice feature.

One of the easiest audio editors to use comes with the Nero 6 suite.
After you load the first music file you simply hit "Append File", select
another file etc etc until your done.
Very simple.

Hope this helps,

MD

Split your slideshow up.
If you have say 90 photos,have three slideshows.
and and you put one song on each slideshow.
tick the box to match the music to the lengh of the slideshow.
The amount of slideshows depends on how many
photos you have and the length of the song.
After you have done the first slideshow and click ok,
click add slideshow to do the next,and the next.
All three slideshows or how many you have will
play seamlessly together.
The only problem you might have is if the song you
are using has a few seconds silent at the end as this
will show a photo with no music.
This is how i do mine and it works pefectly.

Hope this helps.
