I run a little gaming server where we do story-based community events with some light RP. For this purpose it would be great to have a device that can store, play (and maybe even loop) audio files and connects to my little Yamaha AG03. It would be great if I could connect it to my PC via USB, too.

Unfortunately I don't have my little MP3 player anymore, which I could use. So I'm looking for something like a Steam Deck, but for audio only.

(Hope this community is right, the others seemed too specific in topic)

what size audio files? are they one shots or backing tracks?

Not sure yet. I have once prepared a short incoming radio call that was like 2 minutes, I guess. What do you have in mind?

In terms of audio production what you're looking for is a sampler. There's some inexpensive hardware samplers but even less cost apps.

If software doesn't fit your use case then you'll want to find one that supports 2 minute one shot samples.

A one shot is a sample that plays through until the end of the sample no matter what else is going on unless you hit stop.
