Can someone please help me?
I have recently purchased Roxio Creator 2010 Pro.
I created a DVD using MyDVD. When I go to add background audio a window pops up that has two tabs. One says Media Selector and through that tab I can get to my music I have downloaded on my hard drive. Then there is another tab that says Smart Sound.
When I click on the song I want as background audio and hit ok, it only plays for a second. So I clicked on the Smart Sound tab and it has a place where you can set the duration. When I set the duration it doesn''t give me the option to hit ok.
Do I have to download my music off my hard drive into a Smart Sound folder or something?

DVD background music is limited in time to the menu you select unless you create a custom menu. This is for an old version but it should work here. Watch this.

If your music is DRM protected such as that from ITunes or other, you cannot use it. You can use any music you have ripped to your computer.

In Smart Sound, make sure you have selected "owned" and not all. You can use any owned music. Add it to the music or other audio track and stretch it as much as you wish. Put your cursor at the end of the music about half way up, the cursor should change to a double headed arrow or ahand (sorry I don't remember which) and pluus the end of the music as far as you want.

I tried to stretch the music but it will only play for 00:04.29. I'm trying to get it to play long and just repeat on the main menu of my DVD and once you hit the button to play the movie the music will stop and you can hear the video.

When I'm in the Smart Sound where it says: Where to search: I have it on owned but none of my music is in the library. All my music I have I ripped onto my external hard drive. I was wondering how do I add my music that I already have on my hard drive to the Smart Sound library? B/c under the Smart Sound tab you can put in the duration that you want your music to play.

Did you look at the link I posted? Please explain your first statement. Why would you want the main menu to play longer than 4 1/2 minutes?

You cannot add music to Smart Sound unless you pay the exorbitant price for the DRM and no Royalty fee download library.

If you are using a music file that is 4:29 then there is no way to lengthen it. You can add it a second time but I think that would not sound right. You can add as much music to a slide show as long as the music is equal to or shorter than the slide show.

You have me confused. You are using My DVD but are you adding music to the menu page or are you creating a slide show with MyDVD? If the slide show, don't - use Video Wave to do your slide show creation and then use MyDVD to set the menu and add the various slide shows to the menu page.
