making one track from multiple tracks

*QuickTime Pro only lets me use one audio track when adding music to a slideshow*
How are you adding music to a slideshow with QT Pro?

In iTunes, create a playlist with the songs you want.
In your application (iMovie, iPhoto?) select this playlist.

If you ripped the songs from your personal CDs, you can do the following. Reinsert the CD and select the tracks you want to join, BEFORE you import them, go to Advanced and select Join CD Tracks. The result will be one track. You cannot do this iTunes purchases or with songs already imported into the library.

Why aren't you using iPhoto?
You have a LOT more control and options.

You can only use 1 track in QT. To use more, you ned to combine the songs into 1 track.
Open song 1 and song 2.
Go to song 2, Command A (select all),, then Command C (copy).
Go back to song 1, move the slider to the end (or were you want the other song to start) then Command V (paste).
Now you have one long track with 2 songs. You can also move the two sliders under the time bar to cut a portion out.

I would do Get Info on the tracks and renumber them, at least temporarily.


EDIT: Apparently you can't do that prior to importing. Sorry...usually when someone joins two tracks, it is two tracks that follow each other. All I can suggest is to put the tracks in a playlist and burn them in the order you want them on a CD. Then join the tracks when you re-rip them into iTunes.

If you have GarageBand or access to some other (home or professional) audio production software, you could try using that to combine the two tracks.+If you have GarageBand or access to some other (home or professional) audio production software, you could try using that to combine the two tracks.

Get Doug Adams's Join Together tool, it will do exactly what you want, create a new track that is made up of several existing tracks, i.e., merge the tracks into one:
