How to Make a Photo Slideshow With Audio
Creating a photo slideshow to remember an event or special occasion is an entertaining way to organize and share your photos. To make your photo slideshow more interesting, you can add audio tracks for music accompaniment. If you are using a PC, the Windows MovieMaker program is most likely already on your computer, and is a free download if not. For Mac users, iMovie also comes installed and is available to download for older models on the Apple website.
