If you're playing mp3's at the gig you may consider dumping the PC for a tablet or phone (or even mp3 players if they still make those).
Plenty of software out there for setlists, eq, etc on either ios or android.

You can output audio a variety of ways from those devices (bluetooth, digital audio via usb, even the much maligned headphone jack out).

just a thought.
