Overview

How to Add Music to Wedding Player

You can bring music into Wedding Player from four places, all on your phone, with no computer involved. This page is the overview. Pick the route that fits, then dive deeper on the dedicated page for that method.

What you can use

Three kinds of music work inside Wedding Player

  • Wedding Player Originals, a curated collection of fully licensed ceremony tracks built into the app. Free, no account, both iPhone and Android.

  • Apple Music tracks, on iPhone and iPad only. The app integrates directly with your Apple Music Library if you have a subscription.

  • Your own audio files, on both platforms. MP3, M4A, WAV, and AIFF on iPhone. MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, and OGG on Android. Whether you bought the track today or had it sitting in your files for years, it works the same way.

Start at the top of this list. If Originals covers what you need, you can stop reading. If you need a specific mainstream song, the next sections show you how to get it.

Inside the app

How to import into Wedding Player

Once the track is on your device, the import flow is the same regardless of where it came from:

  1. Open Wedding Player.
  2. Tap the Moment you want to add it to.
  3. Tap Add Tracks on an empty moment, or Edit Tracks on a moment that already has music. Same labels on iPhone and Android.
  4. Choose the source: Add Local Files, Add Originals, or Add Apple Music (iPhone only).
  5. Pick the track.
  6. Drag to reorder if you have more than one in the moment.

That is it. The track is now part of your ceremony, ready for Live Mode.

Common questions

What about Spotify?

Spotify does not let third-party apps play full-length tracks. Their developer terms restrict playback to 30-second previews unless the app is the Spotify app itself. That is why Wedding Player cannot integrate Spotify, and why exporting "your" Spotify tracks is not an option: the files are not actually yours.

If your music collection lives in Spotify, the honest path is to buy the handful of ceremony tracks outright, or pick them up via the Apple Music free trial on iPhone. Either way you only need to do this for the songs you will actually play during the ceremony.

Is this licensed for a wedding?

Yes. Tracks you have bought outright, or tracks you play through a personal Apple Music subscription, are covered for playback at a private wedding ceremony for guests, under standard personal-use terms. Wedding Player Originals tracks are fully licensed and covered without further action.

This is different from playing the same music at a commercial event, or streaming it to an online audience, which is a separate licensing conversation. For the UK-specific legal background, see Do You Need a Music Licence to Play Songs at Your Wedding Ceremony?.
