You can speed up or slow down the progress of the slide show by clicking on the left or right arrow directly below the photo (you'll see the number between them change). If the music is too annoying, you can adjust the volume or stop it. The 2nd icon from the right above the thumbnail photos is the control. Left click on it and the music control panel appears. Click on the black square icon to stop the music. Hover your mouse over the photos to see any extra comments for the photo. Enjoy!
