While this is an old thread, I wanted to mention that I’ve gotten the audio soundtrack feature working by tweaking the XML file generated by Lightroom when I uploaded it to my server for a single-property website. An example of is at http://425WGrant.com

Monoslideshow is a great tool because it can fill a whole page! Thank you for the info. I will try it for a property site.

Larry, just ran across a website with a fantastic Flash slideshow. It uses the XML file, much like Monoslideshow. And, it looks like a combination of Simpleviewer and Monoslideshow. I wish that there were a Lightroom template for it, nd I haven’t had much time to look into it further. Check it out at http://www.flashrelief.com The ThumbGallery is pretty cool, and again it is completely customizable.

Scott,
Yes. monoslideshow supports background music. All you have to do is add a term in the XML file after Lightroom generates the slideshow. The term looks like this: backgroundMusic=”URL” where URL is a pointer to an MP3 file you want to play as backgroundmusic.

Larry–This is as nice when you described before you went on vacation. You certainly put it together quickly. The look is so much cleaner than the “tour software” (perpetual fee ASP websites) that are being pushed by the national virtual tour companies. This type of easy-on-the-eyes, “non-busy” view with perhaps a few simple tabs to navigate to details, a Google Map, PDF brochure download would be such a step forward, at least in my marketplace in Chicago.

@Scott–Your experience with buying a package (or engaging a developer) to build something, only to burn time, money or both has been something which I’ve heard very frequently as to why many people seem to have settled for postage stamp sized photos in clunky tour presentations.

Great work Larry. Will be in touch about this.

Scott,
According to the documentation Monoslideshow is capable of doing audio but that feature isn’t controllable from within Lightroom. One would have to edit the XML file after Lightroom generated the slideshow to add audio. I’ll see if I can add some audio to my example.
