I would like to ask how to set a slide show that the music plays continuously during the whole slide show - either one piece played again and again or next piece starts (within a folder of songs). So far the piece of music lasts some time (3 minutes for example) and then the music stops - and slide show continues without music

You can set the main audio track to loop.
But what setting is this ? When I look at slide show setting, I see this:
What version of Aperture are you running?
You need to look in the settings for the slideshow you are working on
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - wrong screen shot
Savita, if you look at the screenshot that Frank Caggiano posted: in the right panel are two tabs: "Default settings" and "Selected slides"; the option is in the "default settings", and the buttons below the settings needs to be set to "display settings panel", not to "display audio panel".
I see, so it means that one cannot set it quickly when you want just to make a slide show from the given project (which is a pity) , but you have to specially and manually create a new slideshow first (file - new - slideshow) and then only to find this setting
I tried it now ... Even when I set "loop" and select the music, the music does not play at all - I have to manually drag the file in the slide strip. But then it just stops at its end and does not continue, unless you drag it (or something else) there again. But then then option "play music track as a loop" does not make sense ?
Savita,
did you add the loop as a main audio track? Dragged it between the images in the time line, not onto an image? The main audio track will fill the whole background, as Frank has shown in his screen shot. If you only see a thin green bar, then you have a secondary audio file, and that will not loop.

Are you sure you are placing the music in as the primary audio track? See Creating Slideshow Presentations in the manual
Yes, this was the point, thank you ...
