Introduction
Adding music to a slideshow can help set the tone, mood, or simply add some interest for the viewer. Whether you’re wanting to add music to a video for a loved one’s birthday or needing some audio for a professional presentation, it’s easy to do with today’s software programs. Here is a quick guide on how to add music to a slideshow.
What you will need
In order to put music on a slideshow, you will need the following things:
-A computer with an internet connection
-A USB drive
-A program that can open and play MP3 files (most computers have this program installed already)
Once you have gathered all of the necessary materials, you will be able to put music on your slideshow in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Choose the music
The first step to adding music to your slideshow is to choose the right song. The song you choose should be appropriate for the occasion and complement the mood of your photos. It should also be a song that you enjoy listening to.
Once you have chosen a song, you will need to download it from the internet or rip it from a CD. If you are downloading the song from the internet, make sure that you download it in a format that is compatible with your computer. MP3 files are usually compatible with most computers.
After you have downloaded the song, you will need to open it in a program such as iTunes or Windows Media Player.
Step 2: Add the music to your computer
Now that you have your music file, it’s time to add it to your computer. There are a few different ways to do this, depending on how you want to organize your files.
One way is to create a new folder on your computer specifically for your slideshow music. This way, you can keep all of your music in one place and easily find it when you need it. To do this, open up a new Finder window and click on the “New Folder” icon in the toolbar. Give your folder a name like “Slideshow Music” or something similar.
Once you have your folder created, open it up and drag your music file into it. You can also use the “Add File” button in the toolbar to add your file to the folder.
Another way to add your music file to your computer is to simply save it in the same location as your slideshow images. This can be helpful if you only have a few songs that you want to use for your slideshow. To do this, just find the location on your computer where you have saved your slideshow images and drag your music file into that folder.
Once you have added the music file to your computer, it’s time to move on to Step 3 and start adding it to your PowerPoint presentation!
Step 3: Add the music to your slideshow
Here’s how to add music to a slideshow:
1. Find the audio file you want to use. It can be an MP3, M4A, or WAV file.
2. Drag and drop the audio file into the project area.
3. In the “Sound” area of the “Edit” tab, select the audio file you just added.
4. Use the “Fade In” and “Fade Out” options to control how the music fades in and out of your slideshow.
5. Use the “Volume” slider to control how loud or soft the music is.
Step 4: Customize the music settings
Start by customizing the music settings to your liking. You can set the volume, fade in and out, and even add effects. Make sure the “Present” button is toggled on so your music will play during your presentation. You can also click the “Preview” button to get a feel for how your music will sound with your slideshow.
Step 5: Save your slideshow
You can either save your slideshow as a video file or as a project file. If you save it as a video file, you will be able to watch it on your computer or share it with others. If you save it as a project file, you will be able to make changes to it later.

Now that you know how to put music on a slideshow, you can create slideshows that are far more interesting and engaging than static pictures. Music can help set the mood, add energy, and keep viewers engaged. With a little creativity, you can use music to make your slideshows even more special.
