Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 34517
sound issues in Impress -- Allow a sound file to span more than one slide
Last modified: 2008-05-28 22:49:29 UTC
I cannot get a sound file, even an mp3, to span across more than 1 slide. This is a feature that -MUST- be implemented for the Impress section of OpenOffice.org to be taken seriously.
Hi reporter, if I understand it right, you want somtething like "background music" during all time the presentation is running? Rainer
Reassigned to Christian.
This is an enhancement. Reassigned to Bettina.
This is absolutely critical! The user is asking for background music, and if he is not, I am. A sound file should extend across more than one slide. I know the time to add features to 2.0 is supposed to over, but this is a huge gaping hole in my opinion. This is till not possible in 1.9.74.
this is exactly what I want done. People use PowerPoint for slide shows all the time. Can I recommend OpenOffice? No, because it misses this feature... It needs the ability to start and stop a sound file (i.e. music) for a span of slides. One cannot reasonably time a slide show to music playing in XMMS/Winamp in the background. Get this in 2.0 PLEASE!
this powerpoint 97 slide doesn't work correctly in OOo 2.0 beta 2. For OpenOffice Impress to be taken as a serious presentation program, this MUST work correctly. In PowerPoint viewer, this background song plays perfectly, but even in 2.0 beta 2, the song abruptly ends. Even in OOo 1.1.4, this background music plays longer than it does in 2.0 beta 2, but it does not play until the end of the song. Please fix this soon. the file can be found at http://people.eku.edu/rowej/wishes.ppt
This would be a major improvement for OpenOffice. I am a Computer Science Teacher and a multitute of our projects include using Music throughout a presentation. If this could be incorporated into OpenOffice I could say goodbye to MS entirely! Please consider incorporating this!
I agree with pretty much everyone here. I use Powerpoint for my presentations at school, and I include music in almost all of my presentations. I cannot fully switch over to OOo because of this feature.

So many ppt presentations use this feature for running slide shows (i.e. unattended operation); it seems a basic requirement that should be in Impress.
it almost this same as http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=24969
