The iPod Wedding

By Beth Jacobson


Digital music players caused a bit of an uproar when they first arrived on the scene, as music moguls everywhere feared that without the need to purchase a hard copy of an album, consumers would enjoy artists' hard work for free, and the profits derived from an enormously lucrative industry would be depleted in a serious way. A few years on, it's obvious that the industry of music creation hasn't collapsed under the weight of such digital music players as the iPod, which holds a ninety percent share of the digital music player market. But now, it seems, another area of the music industry is in fear of its life.

The term "iPod wedding" has been thrown around recently, but as humorous as it may be, it is not referring to the idea of tying the knot with our beloved electronic device. In fact, the term has been referring to the new frugal trend which happens to be trading in the DJ or wedding band for our ipods as the new entertainer. Couples everywhere are celebrating their nuptials to a soundtrack provided by an ipod.

Due to the the rising cost of weddings every year, who can blame couples for using an ipod for entertainment?. To have a live band at your wedding, you may be looking at a price tag of around a thousand dollars, and around six hundred for a DJ. It can be quite challenging to find ways of cutting corners of a wedding's budget with the enormous cost of the ring and gown. It starts to make plenty of sense to use music and a device that you already own, and utilize the simple setup and huge capacity and variety of songs.

There are a multitude of other advantages to choosing an iPod as your wedding day entertainer. The newly married couple are free to choose precisely the music they want played at their special event, without worrying about the weird and wonderful tastes of a band or DJ. An iPod is also around half the price of a DJ, and as the couple can use it after the wedding for their own personal use, represents a double bargain. With the giving of favors to wedding guests a popular tradition, a wedding iPod is also a wonderful favor for the couple to give themselves, allowing them use and enjoy every day an item that is likely to evoke wonderful memories of a happy day.

The "ipod DJ" can be a great way to save money and provide entertainment for any event. And as powerful a tool as the ipod is, wedding bands and DJ's should definitely not throw in the towel yet. The music business hasn't been killed by the ipod yet, and never will. There will always be enough weddings happening everywhere with a big enough budget to support DJ's and all the working musicians.
