Thanks to both Jim and Guido . . . I have tried using an mp3 file, and it did work. It's good to know that there is a free way to convert files to mp3! This is a new area for me. I do have a friend who is using his .wma files without problems, so it is frustrating that I cannot get it to work. But I will be happy if I am successful in converting my files to mp3. Incidentally, the mp3 files that I found on the web are much larger than the wma files that I was using. Again, many thanks! I am sure that I will have many more questions as I explore this product. It is comforting to know that I received answers so quickly.

I am very new to this, and I'm failing miserably during my first attempt at creating a slideshow. (Also, I seem to be failing at posting a message. I thought I did this yesterday, but I don't seem to be able to find it.) My slideshow previews and runs just fine until I try to add a music file. I'm using wma files that I recorded to my PC with the Windows Media Player. I found an old post and followed the instructions. When I click Preview after adding the music, the status line displays "Calculation of length of music files," and then it quits responding. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
