The original slimserver / squeezebox series of MP3 music players, were
just large electro florescent displays controlled by a large handheld
remote - the display is sharp easily visible across the room.

Failing that expense, you could use an old computer monitor, or LCD TV.

You could change the keyboard for something voice controlled, but your
utterances could be drowned out by the music. However, gesture control
might work.

Strap a camera on it, and dance in front of it. Use some kind of
learning AI on it, so the way you dance changes the type and style of music.

If it keeps playing "the birdy song" then you may have a problem.... ;-)
