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!
I would love a copy of the spreadsheet if you still have it around!!
My email is katie-bain <at> hotmail.com.
Thanks!!

Id love a copy of the spreadsheet too if you are willing to send it!
my email is dstavrin@uab.edu
thanks!
Sorry for the delay guys. I just got internet back yesterday after moving. I have sent the spreadsheet to both of you that posted here. Hope it helps!
@arizonabride- thanks for sending the instructions to rid the dead air- i've heard it could be done, but didn't know how! could you please pm me your playlist doc? we are doing song requests on the rsvp cards, but i'm starting to worry that this is really going to limit my time to work on this so close to the wedding...
do you have any idea how you are going to spread out the dance songs? like 2 slow, then 2 fast? i'm not sure how to do this to keep the party going. let us know how the music works out after the wedding :)
@gambilina- I need your email address to send you the spreadsheet as we can't attach docs to PMs here. I've cancelled my wedding, so I'm not working on the playlist anymore, but what we were going to do was just listen to the entire thing several times to see if it was right and make adjustments. I think it's really important to listen to it and make sure you've got the right amount of slow vs. fast songs and that it creates the mood you want.
Sorry to hear you've cancelled your wedding, arizonabride. Thanks for the info on the ipod playlist.
Don't be sorry, clane! We are still getting married! Just not goping to have the 40 ppl wedding. We will be eloping but just don't know where yet. We are very excited and relieved that all the stress and work of the wedding is gone:-))
My brother has offered to do this for us, but um... I hate his music SO much, and I have no idea what we play. We might just go the DJ route.
if you dont mind to send me a copy of your spreadsheet that would be so wonderful and grately appreciated :)
thank you so much :)
I love the idea of an Ipod wedding, but just couldn't imagine who I'd ask to do it/be the "DJ"! Still, I think it'd be a lot of fun to make the playlist.
@arizona thanks! good ideas...we are having a DJ but need to get started on a list!
Just an idea to pass along to you girls making an iPod playlist: my fiance and I went to the library and got MOST of our playlist's songs from their CD collection. I did some searching through their catalog online, put the items on hold at one library location, and have been burning the songs to my iTunes since then. :-) Save yourself some money and see what your library has.
I was surprised how many different CDs they had---anything from Frank Sinatra to Usher and Beyonce! :-)
hey can i get a copy of your playlist? audra.aversa@gmail.com thanks in advance for helping me destress one little thing <3
May I have a copy too? I'm not to tech savy but would love to put this together for possibly after the rehearsal dinner.
thanks
@mamadee I was referring to the public library. Their CD collection had most of what I was looking for.
Wow I had no idea so much went into an using your ipod at your wedding! Would you mind sending me your spreadsheet? Thank you so much! And thank you for the tips!
@sunnydebs, that's such a good idea with going to the library!!
Wedding is in October. Starting on this today.
Thank you for the heads up and good luck!!
Can you please send me your list tomeka.robinson@marietta.edu? I had no clue how long it would take to construct this list
Hey if you're still willing to share, please email to tlcchadwick2b@gmail.com. I thought I'd do a list for the reception but I've spent days just trying to find the right father/daughter song! At this rate I'll need to quit my job to get a whole playlist done! If you can share that'd be awesome.
Thanks!
PS I've thought about eloping but the nonrefundable deposit is keeping me at it.
I am so so so sorry to be the billionth person to ask you but it would really help out if you have the time to send me your list, please? If not NO biggie. Totally understand. Also, I'm a little jealous that you are eloping. The deposits are the only reason I have not hahaha. My email is Adriana.Niva@gmail.com
If you are still willing to share, I would love to see your lists!
You can send them to LinzyJo@cox.net
I realize this is an old post but I am having trouble with my Ipod list for my destination wedding, if anyone has arizonabrides playlsit spreadsheet I would really appreciate it!
(or something similiar - would love to see some song choices) please email me!

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.
