Won't play multiple songs on slideshow imported from iPhoto

First, you will need to make a CD of the songs you want to use in iPhoto. You can get the songs you rip from your CD to export into iTunes by the following:

1. iTunes - Pref - Advanced - Import. Change import using to MP3.
Now all new songs you rip from CD will export with iPhoto

To correct those songs already in iTunes so they will export, do the following:
1. highlight song in iTunes Library
2. Toolbar go to Advanced - Click Convert Selection to MP3
3.Now you will have a duplicate of that song in your library. The one just added that you converted, add MP3 to title
4.Use MP3 song in your slide show.
5. Audio should export with photos.

Post back and let me know if this works for you. It does for me. You cannot change songs imported from iTunes this way; it will only work on songs from your CD.

Pardon me for jumping in here, but I am having same problem with multple songs. When I go to ADVANCED in Toolbar in the CONVERT SELECTION, I do not see MP3. Any suggestions??

You need to have the songs you want converted highlighted in the Library.

Is it grayed out or do you actually not have it in the drop-down list?

Sue

Sue: I do have the songs highlighted in the Library. In preferences under Advanced I get General, Importing and Burning. Clicking on IMPORTING, I can bring up"import using MP3 encoder" but nothing that says "Convert to MP3"

Oh...you must have iTunes 4....you will need iTunes 6 or newer to do that.

Nope. I have iTunes 7.0.2! ?

I don't get it. Click here to see what it should look like

SUE: THANKS for bearing with me on this. Due to a stroke of LUCK (not Genius on my part) I was able to get music into my slideshows, but I'm still confused about this MP3 thing. I was going to ADVANCED in iTunes preferences and not to ADVANCED from the bar MENU. However when I go to ADVANCED in the pull down menu, still no "CONVERT TO MP3", only "CONVERT SELECTION TO AAC.
Thanks for showing me what it should look like.
As you can ascertain, I'm not too well informed as per music files!

Jack:

Are you positive you have iTunes 7?

Sue

Tells me I have iTunes 7.0.2 Is there a later version??

OK-I am an idiot...I have had my head screwed on backwards all day.

Excuse-I have too many macs with too many versions.

iTunes 7 does NOT have what I showed you. You are right.

You can workaround the music problem by burning your songs on an Audio CD (not data or mp3) and re-import them to iTunes.
Choose 'Join CD Tracks' from the Advanced menu in the menu bar and iTunes will combine all of the songs from the CD into one song.

Then use that 'one song' in your dvd.

Again, I truly apologize for misdirecting you earlier!

Sue

Sue: Apologies not needed. It's been fun and I will file your info and use it next tiime I have this same problem.

Thanks for your input.
