Open the CD/DVD tray. In the computer lab, it’s at the bottom of your computer, in front. 1. Insert your music CD (label side up), and carefully close the tray till it clicks shut. If the following window appears, click on the Switch to library icon just beneath the close button (see red circle below). 2. If this does not occur, click on the Start button and type Windows Media and select the Windows Media Player at the top of the menu The Windows Media Player will open. 3.

What this does it starts 7. the music as soon as the show begins and plays it – uninterrupted throughout the slideshow. Note: Failing to do this will result in the music stopping after the first slide. Next, click and checkmark Hide During Show 8. This cause the speaker icon to be invisible during slideshow. An alternative to this would be dragging the icon off the slide. Note: Deleting the icon will delete your music. You may want to adjust the volume.

set it to low. You can also adjust the volume by hovering over the sound icon on the slide. Other features you can use can be found on the Editing section of the ribbon 10. Fade In and Fade Out allow you to have the music start and stop smoothly rather than starting and stopping abruptly. When you click on the Trim Audio, a window opens that allows you to start and stop audio tracks in the middle of the 11. song. Don’t forget to save when 12. you are done.
