I need to use a song from music on my Mac for a slideshow. I can't figure out how to make it available in the music side of the slideshow sound selection. I can see the song in music and have it in a playlist.

I need to use a song from music on my Mac for a slideshow. I can't figure out how to make it available in the music side of the slideshow sound selection. I can see the song in music and have it in a playlist but can't get it into the slideshow. I have done this years ago so thought it would be simple. I have started a subscription to Music, but can't seem to access the song I need for the slideshow.

Tracks downloaded from an Apple Music subscription are DRM-protected and cannot be used outside of Apple Music. You will need to get a non-protected copy of the track by purchasing it or ripping from CD.
