from personal experience, the more complicated you get the more risks you run. why not convert your backing tracks to mp3 and play through the PA?

use a cheap ipod touch and create a separate play list for each track - that stops the problem of the ipod just playing tracks in succession.

the play lists will be in alphabetical order so its easy to find the song you want

or maybe you could number the playlists and get them to sort numerically? i don't know.

you can back up the ipod on another one - cheap off ebay.

the main problem is aching legs - me too! but don't overcomplicate the solution. and the mp3/ipod route will be very cheap
