You can add music—a file or playlist from your iTunes music library, or any other
sound file—to a Keynote document. You can add sound as a soundtrack for the entire
slideshow, or you can add sound to a single slide.
If you add a soundtrack, the music starts playing when the slideshow starts. You can
specify whether to play the audio once or repeatedly (or you can turn it off ).
If you add a sound file to an individual slide, the sound plays when the slide appears
and stops when you move to the next slide. You could, for example, record narration
for each slide as an MP3 file; this technique is especially useful if you plan to export
the slideshow as a self-playing QuickTime movie. (For more information, see
Note: To make sure that the audio plays on other computers, “Copy audio and movies
into document” must be selected in the expanded Save dialog. This option is on by
default.
