How to Put Up an Audio File With a Picture Slideshow on YouTube
YouTube is meant to allow each user to share video content he creates, but that doesn't mean the videos he uploads need be contiguously or live shot. For example, you can set up a slideshow of your pictures to a song you or someone you know recorded and upload it to your YouTube account to share both the photos and music with the world.
