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)

      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.
