How many music selections will I need?
You will need approximately 1 selection per every 30 photos. THIS
DOESN'T MEAN that the music selection will play exactly for the
30 photos, but just a general rule of thumb.

Can I choose my music for different
sections of the tape?
Yes, you can send the music you feel will better match your own
memories while watching those photos.

Do you necessarily play songs all
the way to the end?
Out of 200 photos, let's suppose that you have 14 different sections:
baby pictures, childhood, high-school, college, marriage, trips,
kids, etc... and you would like different songs for each section.
So you write in the instructions:
> Pictures 1- 14 Baby pictures - CD 1 # 5
> Pictures 15 - 32 Childhood - CD 2 # 3
> Pictures 33 - 55 High-school days - CD 3 #1
Well, maybe song #5 of CD1 lasts 2:34 but the video images only
last 1:30; what we'll do is to dissolve from CD1 to CD2 while
changing from photo 14 to 15 (or in the title page if you requested
one)

What if the song I select is actually
shorter than the images?
We will add some filler music at the end of your song until the
start of your next requested selection.

Can I incorporate a voice-over?
This option is available for an additional charge. Simply record
your message on a cassette, mini disc or dat tape.

Can you place an instrumental music
version to play on the background of my narration?
You can either send your music or we will choose one in our music
library to be mixed along with your narration.
