thanks for your help, I used "mp3 audioguide" I don't think the "souvenir" bit is appropriate because the purpose of the object is to act as a guide and not a memento

Momento / Souvenir MP3 audio commentary


Explanation:
As it is for sale rather than hire, could it be a souvenir/momento of a visit? Kind of a strange idea to sell an MP3 device solely for one audio file, but then, tourists do buy the strangest things...
