As AT says a lot of folk convert to audio files and play that way. I ensure all songs are at about the same level so I’m not diving for a volume knob on the mixer (I’m playing guitar at the same time so I’m out of hands). I also have the guitar balanced to the audio tracks.

I use a product called Songbook to store all my songs. With this I can set up a program (set whatever) and simply step through the songs. This avoids looking for songs and deciding what’s next. I can control the time it takes to start the next song. Songbook also scrolls through the lyrics and chords in time with the backing tracks.

However, one could simply set up a directory for the songs in order using a simply 2 character numeric prefix so the song order you want can be maintained (that is how I did it before the days of Songbook).

Just a thought
