I personally wouldn't mess with files live. I'd space them in Ardour to give me some time between songs and a little room to pause the performance between songs without the audience knowing what's going on. That's a single key in Ardour and gives you the choice of rearranging songs on the fly should you choose. Of course, I'm comfortable with Ardour. You could do this in any of the multi-track recorders - Rosegarden, Muse, Rui's player - I forgot the name. Any of them will work.
