sup /g/ I need a way to handle flash storage or USB drives being

For example I have media players playing music from five different sources to five different sinks in pulseaudio. Let's imagine it's five different areas of an art installation.

I want to be able to treat each port as a drive. Let's say port 1 is the source of music for the main hall and I have a thumb drive in that port being used as a music source. It's drive X. The media player sending music to the main hall sink in pulseaudio draws from drive X, automatically. I replace the thumb drive with a different one with a fresh set of music, and the media player continues to draw from it as it still sees drive X, just with a new set of files this time.

Or some kind of script that automatically assigns the same drive letter to any thumb drive plugged into that port. Is that doable?

But I need this for ubuntu

Yes you can script this. But since you have to ask you likely lack the skills to be able to do so.

Use Linux.
It's actually a billion times easier to do shit like that in Linux.

I'm not a software guy. But if I have to have it created, I'll get it created.

In Windows? You don't.
In Linux? Add udev rules based on the filesystem UUID/whatever serial code your filesystem has.

On Linux, you can find device files described by physical path in /dev/disk/by-path
