Photos define a moment in time and preserve the user's memories. Slide shows of a particular event are great to create for families or past work functions. Adding music to the slide show can often add humor, excitement and drama. There two main ways to add music to your slide show using Windows Media Player. The slide show can either be temporarily seen in Media Player or be saved in Windows Movie Maker.
