Yes, it can work as you suggest, but you will still have the loading
times which might be a bit longer than you want.

Another way to do this is to put the songs for that gig into their own
folder and have BIAB make a songlist of that folder and then you can
have the computer play that song list in the order in which you've set
things up. To get a perfect easy order, rename the songs in the folder
so they start with the number in the sequence: 01 InnaGaddaDavida.sgu
02 The Shadow of Your Smile.sgu and so on and so on. To get the
sequence to sort properly, if there are more than 10 songs, use a zero
in front of the single digits, otherwise the computer may sort them as
1, 10, 11, 12 . . . , 2, 20, 21, 22 . . .

You can set things up to use the space bar on the computer to stop and
start the playback between songs.
