Need audio player with Bluetooth xmit. (self.budgetaudiophile)

So I have some "built in" Bluetooth speakers in a piece of furniture. No other inputs are available, just Bluetooth. I'm trying to find an AC or USB powered MP3/audio player that can transmit via Bluetooth to these speakers. I don't care if it has built in memory or if I need to plug in a flash drive out SD card. I don't want it to have a battery because it will always be in one spot and always on. I only need to be able to pause/play from the speaker remote. I've been using a garbage flip phone that I CAN mod and power from USB, but I'd like a cleaner solution. I don't want to use a phone. I don't want to hack something together. I'm having a hell of a time finding something. Probably 10 hours over 2 weeks. I'm drained. Does anyone have an idea?

A phone or tablet would work great. Last week, when I was trying to figure this all out, I pulled out a Samsung that was a few years old. Threw it on the charger and it swelled up like a balloon within 15 minutes. That made me think twice about leaving a phone or tablet plugged in all day at home, while I'm not there.
