Using multiple songs in a Lightroom 3 Slideshow

So, Lightroom 3 is out.  One of the features I’m most enjoying is the new ability to export a slideshow to video, with sound.

Yes, it was a long time in the making, but glad it’s here.  You can even time the slides so that they end just as the music does.  Neat.

But everything’s not totally rosy here.  Let’s imagine that you have 100 photos that you’d like to show in a slideshow.  Let’s say you want each image to have around 4-5 seconds.  With fades, you’re probably looking at a 10 minute slideshow.  But wait, Lightroom can only use one song.  What are you to do?
