Android App For Cues

I'm curious if anyone knows of a good Android app for my needs. I was asked to play walk out music for a high school baseball game. In a normal situation I would have my laptop connected to my board, have the tracks all cued up in MultiPlay (I only have a Windows computer), and then use BitFocus Companion from my tablet to trigger the cues from afar. The buttons in Bitfocus Companion would probably just be the numbers on the players jerseys so I could just look at their number and press the corresponding number on the tablet. In this situation there is no power and no way for me to connect my laptop. The school has a battery powered speaker with Bluetooth. My laptop is old and the battery is not sufficient to last 7 innings, so my only real option is to connect my tablet via Bluetooth. So I'm curious if anyone knows of a good Android app that might give me similar functionality to create customized buttons to play specific tracks exactly when I need them?

Mounting Non-Rackable Router and Network Switch

I recently picked up an 8U Gator rolling rack. Within that, among other things, I have 8 Shure wireless receivers and a Behringer X32 Rack. I have a wifi router for the X32, and I have a 5 port network switch to connect the receivers to the router for easier access with Wireless Workbench. Anyhow, I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep the router and network switch in the case. Neither of them are a rack mount style. My initial thought was to use 3M Dual Lock to keep them in the box, but it doesn't seem to stick well enough to the box... I stuck it to the inside and left it untouched for 24 hours, then stuck the router and switch to the strips and within about 20 minutes the strips stuck to the rack suddenly rip off the rack. So they have just been sitting in the rack and it's been okay, but I worry that it might shift around and break something... So outside of removing them and only adding them when needed, does anyone have a suggestion on how I should do this?
