Exactly, it's the UI that is my problem.

We don't tend to have phones at hand all the time at home because
there's no mobile coverage here so they're not terribly useful. So I'd
really prefer something permanently by the Pi/Audio system.  There are
also several users so a single dedicated system would be handy.

I guess a tablet (e.g. 7" screen) might work and could be kept plugged
in and charged next to the Pi.  We have some old[ish] 7" tablets,
Android 4.x sort of vintage.
