How to Add Music on a CD Slide Picture Show

A picture slide show on a CD can have audio added.

Music that is stored as an audio file on a computer can be added to a picture slide show to enhance the watcher's experience. A picture slide show can be created on a CD or DVD disc using Windows Media Center that comes with Windows Vista and Windows 7. This will allow you to add various picture files and audio files that you are then able to burn as a CD/DVD slide show.
