I use regions instead of markers because regions are better to use for arranging sections/songs around..

You may need to have sws extentions for some extra cool actions that help..
Also sws ext has marker actions..So when the play head cursor goes past a marker it will trigger a action. example would be to goto next region and pause . This marker would be at the end of every region if you dont want the songs to simply play through.

So use MArkers for Marker actions and Regions for songs.


Or You can use Miditoreacontrol path and use midi notes to trigger actions instead of marker actions. This is how i do it as its neater i think than having markers and regions .

I now see theres a "goto marker 30" limit . even though you can have more than 30 markers..

To get around this you need sws extentions.
After installing you have to edit the sws.ini file in the reaper resource path.
Find this line
S&M_GOTO_SEL_REGION=
put in 70 or how many songs you want in your project.
save
open reaper
you will now have "x" amount of actions for goto sel region smooth seek
all of which can be midi assignable. That should give you direct navigation to particular song/region number.
This is how i would do it. Having ll songs in linear fashion allows the use of smooth seek .. ie go to next song without gap .. smooth transition.
