iTunes

I was going through my iTunes making different playlists for the wedding and realized I have about 20 hours worth of music set aside for the wedding. Wow, I seriously thought I might not have enough, but I have the opposite problem: way too much.

At least it will be easy to pare down. Then I just need to back up the music onto my iPod and maybe some back-up discs too.

I can't seem to find my original sources for iTunes help, but the two best pieces of advice were the settings to standardize the volume (Sound Check in the Playback tab under Preferences) and the crossfade playback in the same tab. The crossfade playback is what gets rid of any dead air in between songs.

We're choosing a ton of music from bands that played at Coachella in the last few years for cocktail hour and then your standard rap/hip hop for dancing with a sprinkle of disco. Umm, I threw in a Milli Vanilli song as a joke, but now I'm wondering if I should play it at all. I'm imagining the dance floor with end up completely EMPTY.

Oh, and the funniest response card we got back was a friend of ours (male) who crossed off "dance" in the response that read "Ready to wine, dine and dance." I'm already planning to have numerous people pull him onto the dance floor on a regular basis. Mwah ha ha ha.
