How to Export a Voice Recording From Audacity Into an iPhoto Slideshow
IPhoto users can create slideshows from images in their photo libraries. If you have a selection of photos from which you want to create a slideshow, you might like to record a commentary track in another program such as Audacity and add it to the presentation. However, iPhoto cannot read project files from Audacity. Export the Audacity project as a WAV or MP3 file and add it to your iTunes library to use it in an iPhoto slideshow.
