Leif, thanks for the encouragement to buy PTE, Still haven't done it but it's a matter of time. Thanks also Al and others for serious commnts. Nice to see people getting involved. I believe Al has a good point when saying that trial and error will always be a part of ceating the slideshow. I did find when fiddling around with synchronization that even if I hit the right time for a peak in the music it did not necessarily look perfect in the show because of how we perceive transitions. I only worked with fade transitions though and they are the ones that might be most difficult to synch. Anyway, I will use the idea of a separate wave editor to use the times there and see how it goes. I still think it would be nice with a built in one, but I realize there might be other features that are more important.
