DJ Playlist Length Calculator
Playlist length is set by the clock, not by taste: a four hour reception with a thirty minute break needs about three and a half hours of music, which at three and a half minutes a track is roughly sixty songs. Adding a twenty per cent buffer covers the songs people talk over.
