Not sure about setting music, but KDE has a built in Slideshow option for its background.

Just right click on an empty space on your desktop and choose Appearance Settings.

Then in the Wallpaper section choose Type and choose Slideshow.

Then click add folder to add a folder with the backgrounds or pictures you want to be in the slideshow.

Hope this helps!

Im talking about when you got 2+ pictures put it together and make a slide show same you can do it with video. I think I confuse all of you a little Im sorry;)

In fact I know there is more just one software I will find it for my self;)

Simple but effective and impressive: digikam

I made a slide-show last week for my parents’ 50ht anniversary using digikam. I put all 700 photo’s in one folder, picked Advanced Slideshow from Slideshow dropdown. It already selected the right folder, so I checked OpenGL transisitions, selected the Ken Burns effect, picked hours of FLACs to play in the background. At their party I just connected to a beamer, ran digikam, ran slide-show looped, closed it after about 6 hours of running. During these hours lots of people asked me if they could have a copy of the DVD that was playing…

I thought you had left us. … Glad to see you are back.

Do a search on our forum for slideshow and you will get a lot of hits. For example some threads:

where in posts on those threads I had noted I use kdenlive:
Packman - kde4-kdenlive

Other packages I noted:

There are other packages, such as stills2dv stills2dv home page (which I really like, but it requires custom compilation, and its command line, and not gui based, and hence likely not for new users ).

I also listed many applications for such activities here in this guide in our FAQ/how-to area: Applications - DVD Authoring Tools - openSUSE Forums

Here are some examples (not done by me) of what can be done with stills2dv:

… however as noted, stills2dv is not for beginners.
