iDVD 5: Using the Audio Browser

If you want to add audio to a slideshow or a customized menu, a handy way to pick a complementary tune is to use the Audio section of iDVD's Media browser. To access audio section of the Media browser:

1. Click the Customize button.
2. Click Media.
3. From the pop-up menu, choose Audio.

Your iTunes music library will appear in the browser. You can now try out different songs (or even whole playlists) to see how they work with your visuals. Or if you prefer, you can drag individual audio files or folders full of audio files from the Finder into the browser and have easy access to them when you are working on iDVD projects. Once you've selected a good choice for your slideshow or menu, just click the Apply button or drag the tune/playlist directly from the Media browser to the audio well in the slideshow editor to add your audio.

Additional Information

• While the Audio browser iTunes library will display Artist and Time information for all songs, you won't see either if you drag audio files into the browser.
• For audio files to appear in iDVD's Media browser, you need to have launched iTunes at least once and have audio files in the iTunes Library.
• If you're interested in finding more audio-related information, choose iDVD Help from the Help menu.
