There are different ways to do that. The best way varies between what equipment and software (if any) you have as well as how you perform live.
You can get the best recommendation by providing a more descriptive image of your live performance.

MP3's. Mix through your Bose.

Bob Bob's method would be my preferred method and what I'd recommend. There are quite a few forum members who perform live and methods and preferences vary. Some use a computer and play Through BIAB creating the backing track from the program. You can also use the Conductor feature that allows you to skip around in your song and repeat verses, choruses and such. some play midi through external midi synths and others use Software synths. Just starting out, I suggest to keep it simple and use MP3's or wav files from a player of some sort. Expand as your experience and confidence grows. Charlie

I don't play live anymore, but have in the past.
Use MP3's or Waves in a laptop or some other player that allows you to set up play lists or select the next tune easily.
The less mission critical gear you have running that requires drivers and an operating system the better off you are. Trust me on that one.
If fact, ideally, you would want 2 laptops. One running the music for the show and the other one booted, plugged in and on standby, unless you're willing to CYA while the crashed lappy reboots.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I transfer all my BIAB tracks as WAV files to a Digitech JamMan Solo XT looper pedal. I am able to store them as single files and not loops http://digitech.com/en-US/products/jamman-solo-xtI then use a DigiTech FS3X 3-Button Footswitch to scroll through the various tracks and to start and stop. I'm able to do everything by the use of the foot switch, which I think makes it less obvious to my audience. The pedal is connected to my Bose LI. That's my way to do it, but I know there are many more that folks on this forum have had success with. Frank

Hey Bob,
RIght now I'm trying not to take a job till I up grade my songs.
I'm gonna take a break and see if I can incorporate BIAB to my sets. The learning curve is intimidating to say the least. But I am gonna get it!
