That way, when you need a piece for a fix, you can go the exact spot +1 or 2 hrs.
This seems harder to me than having a playlist, which although maybe not perfect (Although could be if the entire show is clicked with set breaks between songs). Your method you have to shift the timeline an hour, and they're still not in line perfectly if the entire show isn't timed. With playlists, at least the part you want to drop in is likely in view of the other playlist. Different strokes and that. But yeah, file names could also help
