I'd just convert them to wave, load them on separate tracks in Ardour
and let Ardour play them one at a time. 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.

Cheers,
Mark
