Thanks so much, Paul. I’ll check out the pan info.
What I mean about the music, is, just because you download it free, does that also mean it’s fair use to use it in this manner? I’m unclear on the legality.

Hi, Linda. You can find the pan under Slide Info->Movement. You just tell it how large/small you want to start it and where to end it. Also, the music was free and came from a free site. Just click the link noted in the post.

I like the photo show a lot. The music goes with it well. Two questions: How do you get Soundslides to pan across the still photo like that? I can’t find that function. And, regarding the music, is this free to use, or just to download? Thanks.

[...] I’ve long been mesmerized by the combination of still photography and music.Â It just seems to me to be such a natural fit.Â I’m not alone in this view, of course.Â Countless others apparently feel the same way; it’s not hard to find examples of this marriage of media typesÂ across the internet.Â Paul Lester did one recently – you can find it here.Â [...]

Very, very well done Paul. I sincerely hope you continue down this road. I enjoy this and also brought back some vision of my trip as well.

As one of the non-technical types, figuring out all this would have taken me several days at least, maybe weeks. Forget hours. Very impressive. I look forward to seeing more.

@Scott: Soundslides was a breeze. There were no compatibility issues at all. After I went to their website to generate the embed tag, I just copied it and put it into my blog and that was it. Of course, I had to upload the exported files up to my host, but that was it. You could do voice recorded stuff as long as you save it as MP3. No problem. I’d suggest downloading it and giving it a try. 30 days for free! I’m sure that you’ll like its ease of use MUCH better than Flash!

Paul,
Excellent! I love the jazz with the Chareslton shots–I’ve never been there, but I’m sure it was a perfect match for those who have. I looked into this before and have a copy of Flash (educational discount), but, like you said, a bit too complicated to have to deal with. What I’d like to do is have some voice recorded stuff with some pictures. I’ve used Audacity for a couple of years (excellent stuff). Did Soundslides have any compatibility issues with your WordPress site, or did you just have to upload and go?
