8.To add background music starting at a certain image in the slideshow, drag and drop the file(s) beneath the desired image in the Slideshow Storyboard.

Repeat the above process to add more background music to various parts of the slideshow.
If the duration of a music clip is shorter than the total duration of the range of images which it was applied to, the music will continuously be replayed until its corresponding images have all been displayed. To avoid replaying music, you can synchronize the duration of images with the duration of the music by checking both durations first before adding music.
