What sort of quality?

If you want bitmap digital quality then I'd suggest multimedia builder, 
which, while feature rich, can be used at a very simplistic level. [1] 
(Autorun CD exe for PC)

If quality is not such an issue, but ease of use for the end viewer is, 
why not go for a VCD/DVD album?

What used to be picturetotv and is now memoriestotv[2] is very ease to 
use, just select images, select transitions add soundtrack?  decide on a 
menu and click the burn to disc button.

the resultant disk (DVD or CDR) will play on any DVD player (domestic or 
PC)
