Photostory can do the *opposite*, it can truncate the music at the given
slide;s duration. Which is not what you want.

Starting over is so simple; just press Ctrl-A (to select all in the
collections) and right-click -> Add to Storyboard.
As dickmr says you can do the maths once and then add *all* pictures in one
go. Unfortunately the Tools->options->Advanced dialog only allows setting
restricted values (whole secods). To overcome this problem I have made some
scripts to directly enter a fractional value of duration in the registry.
After that when you start movie maker, the fractional duration is used.
