Some of these do not answer the specific question, I would like to share some experiences.... 1. I did have an iPhoto slide show that had too many photos for too little music time . I extended the song in iMovie, (spliced out a piece and stuck in the middle of the full version of the song). I exported the extended version to a qt and re-import the qt version into iTunes. You could make a music montage in iMovie the same way with fades and such then export it in a way iTunes can import. 2. Different albums can have their own show but you will need to change the song before playing each. There is no rule against putting a picture from the main library in multiple albums. 3. You could export each show into QuickTime and play it there or on the web. 4. Books schnooks, who needs a manual? Wait, I cold use a good manual for Flash. Any suggestions? Peace, Chip
