Reception playlist to create myself & have on computer (no dj)

Try downloading ClipExtractor. It's $20 but you can download any song from youtube and a few other sites. And there is no limit to how many songs you can download! I transfer them all to itunes and they work great.

I will check that out Kiela. Thanks!

If you create playlists on iTunes, it has a feature that automatically adjusts the volume of different songs so they are the same (that way one doesn't come on blasting), and another that lets you fade songs into each other, so you don't have that slight gap between songs.

I also suggest individual playlists for each event -- first dance, bouquet toss, etc., even if it's one song. That way it won't automatically start into the next section, ya know?

Never heard of ClipExtractor...but i use this to convert songs from u tube and its FREE and works great.

Thanks everyone. I will look into these options!!

Reenski I didn't know Itunes did that, but I will see if I can figure it out. Jennifer I also am doing my own music. Just downloading songs on itunes and I got a speaker called the tailgator. It's pretty loud, for what we need it should be fine. It also comes with a microphone. Good luck to u

For the highest sound quality, check out the CD with the song you want at your local library and upload it to Itunes. The louder you play the music, the more you can hear poor quality from digital conversion.

We are having a friend create the playlist (though we have a lot of input into what's being played). That way I won't be tired of hearing the songs by the time my wedding rolls around

Glad you started this thread; I'm leaning towards doing music ourselves like this.

I always forget about the library for this kind of stuff. Great idea!

I learned something the other day will DIY planning my wedding music. In itunes you can control click on individual songs, then select get info, then options to edit the start and end time of certain songs. ie if they have a long silent pause at the end.

I have wrote about doing this on our blog, I encourage you to take a look at it! check it out at www.shotunes.net and then just click our blog tab!

Thanks, @Just Reenski "I also suggest individual playlists for each event -- first dance, bouquet toss, etc., even if it's one song. That way it won't automatically start into the next section, ya know?" This is probably the best suggestion.

We, so far, are planning to use Spotify as FH pays for it. Will be hooking into the venue's sound system. But we will need to find someone to man the computer!
