if possible, use your laptop instead of your ipod. That way, you can have the songs fade into each other, so you can skip the awkward pauses at the beginning/ends of songs.

Ask a friend to 'man' the laptop, so they can change songs, or add others to the list (if people request them). I prefer the laptop way, so you can change the order, and you can pick and choose what to add/remove as the recption is going on.

We're just creating a playlist for the ceremony that will be played and paused at appropriate moments by my FBIL. Then we're having a playlist that will play straight through the reception, and we'll charge FBIL with manning that as well. HOWEVER because I want to be prepared in case the ipod catches on fire or gets dropped in a glass of champagne or some other heinous event, we're bringing a cd player (with both cord and battery back-up) with cds of the songs we want played. I am paranoid, so we must have just in case items like this!!

There is also another post on here under the music section on how to do the whole Ipod DJ thing. We are doing it as well. So we are slowly but surely combining our lists. Also I know someone else mentioned in the listing that with itunes you can fix the ackward silence thing with the timing of the music.

Hope that helps
