Suggestion: Multiple Sound Tracks

I recently made a slide show for my father-in-laws retirement party.
After the party I added photos from the party and set it to several
songs. I also made a second version of the CD that was set to the voice
of my mother-in-law who gave a eulogy that night. Recently I heard a
song that would be great set to the slides - so that will make three
CDs. This made me think it would be great if XATSHOW supported multiple
sound tracks per slide show. In this case I only have 70 slides, so
size is not an issue.

I know VCDs can allow for or fake multiple sound tracks and with the PC
slide show it should be cake.

The same slide show can tell a whole different story with different
music - or even more useful you can watch your vacation slides set to
nice music, or to the narrative.

Hello Darwin,

Could you not simply put a second slideshow on the menu with the different
audio?

5.1 has a duplicate slideshow added to the sequencer (right click a slideshow)

I guess I could in this case! I didn't know about the duplicate
functionality.

Would be great to put that little tip in a faq!

Thanks much,
D.

Its a bit flaky, it works but you have to off the sequencer tab and back so I
haven't shouted about it ...
