Add multiple audio to picture comp

New to this software and trying to figure it out. I want to create a slideshow with background music. I have created a new picture compilation and have added in 248 slides. I have 6 MP3 files to import, but cannot figure out how to add more than one background audio track. I am obviously going about this all wrong - would someone please let me know how to accomplish this? Thanks!

A picture compilation in DVD Architect is made up of several images files and ONE audio file. If you want to use more than one song, use Vegas or some other application to join them into one file.

Assuming you have 6 tracks to play sequentially as Rob posted you'd want to get one audio file (ac3 or wav format) to fill in the track. If you want 6 alternate tracks you can render your slideshow to DVD on your hard drive, extract the video from that, and re-insert it into DVDA as a video file where you can now add all 6 audio tracks.

If you wanted or needed to do some timing adjustment/editing, I'd suggest rendering the DVD, extracting the video so it can play from the Vegas time-line so you can time however many audio tracks -- just render the complete audio to ac3 when you're done and import it into DVDA.

This might take a little bit but might work for you. At the opening DVD-A screen, the left side of the screen is the DVD project and all of its menus and compilations. Right click in the white area and insert 6 different picture compilations. Add an audio track in each of the compilations and add as many pictures as needed to fill the timeline. After all the compilations are complete, set the end action for each compilation to play the next compilation and so on and so forth till it plays all the compilations. There will probably be a pause inbetween the compilations but this should work. If this is too much work for you, then the only other thing to do has already been suggested.
