Perhaps it is better to say, "it is not tolerant of having power removed without being properly shut-down." - A UPS for a Pi I have has the facility to start-up and shutdown the Pi on a timer cycle of anything between 2-1000 minutes ON and 2-1000 minutes OFF - which would have applications in time-lapse photography - and there is no indications that this is inherently harmful - though I agree that the SD Card might "wear-out" a little faster from those extra log-file writes. | |

Using a Joystick one might be able to expand the control interface if it is done carefully to present a consistent and simple UI for the target audience - one commentator on the linked-to site noted that it only remembered the playing position whilst the RPi was powered - that may be something to revise - though I am sure when I did some experiment with a LAN music server the mpd remembered where it was in a long play-list, mayhaps there is an option for it...
