Forgot to add that if you want to eliminate the dead air between songs, you just need to turn the cross fade on in iTunes:
iTunes>Preferences>Playback>Crossfade Songs - Check the box and set the # of seconds. I find it works best if you set it at 10-12 seconds, but you can play around with it.
Thanks arizonabride! We are doing this too - a daunting task! I have been slowly adding songs to playlists, but I should probably get cracking on that!
this is so helpful, we are doing an iPod wedding too!!! I would love to have your google docs chart, I have beent rying to figure out how to organize our music!
could you e-mail it to me? paola.ygw@gmail.com
Thanks for the tips. We're getting a DJ for the reception but I think we're going to need an IPod list for the rehearsal dinner. Luckily I made a great one for my parents' July 4th party last year that I think I can work off of. (Think Jimmy Buffett, Springsteen, Journey, Bon Jovi, etc.)
Thank you!! We need to start doing this as well...thanks for the heads up on how much time it took you!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
So FI and I spent a ton of time this weekend working on a playlist for our wedding. I just wanted to say to anyone else planning to do this - Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get this done. We spent 8-10 hours on it between yesterday and today. I started a Google Docs spreadsheet and created separate lists for Pre-Ceremony, Processional, Resessional, Cocktail Hour, Dinner, Dancing, etc. Then I created columns for Song Title/ Artist/Playtime. and whether we have or need to purchase the song. We are then adding up the play time for each section to make sure we have enough music. Even after all the time spent, we still only have 3/4 of the music chosen and I don't have the songs in order. Plus, we'll want to listen to the playlist several times and make sure of the order/flow of the songs.
Even though we're DIYing the music, I want to have the dance floor rockin'! If anyone wants my Google Docs spreadsheet, just PM me and I can send it to you.
