How to add a music track to only a select amount of slides?

I need help adding a music track to only a select number of slides in my presentation. For example, Music Track #1 for slides 1 thru 10 and then Music Track #2 to slides 11-20.

The only way to play music over selected groups of slides in Keynote is to use builds on a single slide.


Place all the content from slides 1 to 10 including music track 1 on to a single slide in a new presentation.

Similarly place the content of slides 11 to 20 with music track 2 in a second new slide.


Use builds and the build order list to arrange the sequence time and to set animations for each:

Inspector > Animate > Add an Effect

Inspector > Animate > build Order
