Hi
In LR2 I could use an itunes playlist and play several tracks over a slideshow. Now in LR3 it seems I can only pick 1 mp3 file?? Has it really gone backwards? :(
 
I don't know if you noticed how often that very feature was broken with each new release of iTunes. iTunes kept changing how it dealt with playlists making it a nightmare to deal with. I believe the choice to go with 1 mp3 was related to being able to export video. It's rather easy to create an mp3 using Audacity, which is a free download.

BTW this was like this all through the Beta.

It's just been adapted to what we poor Windows users have been living with ... ;)

Yep, I did notice it was a bit hit and miss with i-tunes. Thanks for the tip about audacity hadn't come across that. You can tell I'm not adventurous and don't really keep up I didn't download the beta3. :icon_biggrin:
 
Yes it is a backward step. I was hoping it was just a Beta issue but apparently not. It will break all your current slideshows which is very annoying if you a lot. I had very little issues with the iTunes implementation myself.
 
Hello All

Back again, got round to audacity and something called lame, exported and 2 tracks to an mp3, but LR just gives me an exclamation mark when I select it in the slideshow module. All advice appreciated. ???
 
Back again, must have messed it up somewhere, tried it again and it works perfect. :)
