 * Gallery->Options. Go to the slideshow tab.
 * Towards the bottom you will find:
 * `Background music (URL)`
 * Enter in the URL of the audio file you want to play.
 * This requires use of the JWImageRotator slideshow (not any of the others). You
   may need to download the plugin. A link is on the slideshow page.

 * According to the website:
 * `JW Player 6 supports AAC (.aac, .m4a, and .f4a), MP3, and Vorbis (.ogg and .
   oga) audio formats.`
 * Best thing to do is upload the file to your wordpress media library (although
   you can technically host it wherever you would like).
 * Go to the library page and click on the file. There will be a field called
 * `File URL`
 * Copy the contents of that field to the
 * `Background music (URL)`
 * field.
