set
Both words can refer to an ordered sequence of music tracks. A Set, however, is the continuous performance played by a DJ or band, while a Playlist is primarily a saved selection for playback. When talking about a live performance, “Set” is the right choice; for a digital track list, “Playlist” is more suitable.
