   I took a Raspberry PI 3 with a 3.5" screen case.

   I loaded standard Raspian headless with mpd/mpc on it.   
   I then NFS mounted the music directory from my server.   
      
   I wrote up a simple Python program using tkinter to create a control panel for   
   the 3.5" touch screen.   
      
   Any complex control can be handled by using an mpc client for Android (which   
   are mostly free).   
      
   I hooked it to some nice speakers and, voila, media player that works just as   
   good (if not better) than my old Squeezebox setup.
