Can a slide advance automatically -- even with a button?

Is it possible to include a button to advance the slide, but also have the slide advance automatically if the button isn't clicked?

I have audio that goes a bit long and some users won't need to listen to all of it -- I would like them to have the option of clicking the "Next" button, but I also want the slide to automatically progress for those who listen to the audio in full. 

Is this possible? 

Thanks!

Sure, just take out the pausing point of the button (Timing Properties). In that situation the button will be active all along its timeline, when clicked the action On Success will be done, when not clicked the playhead will continue to the next slide once the last frame of the slide is reached

It seems that you could learn something from my articles about the Timeline. Here is one of them:
