Problem with recommending technology to family is you become their
technical support.  Having said that, I'm running LMS on a Pi3 using
Max2Play and am very happy.  Have the Spotty plug in and it's fairly
reliable.  Whenever things stop working (usually AirPlay), I use the
Max2Play interface to install the latest nightly, reboot the Pi3 and all
is good again. I'm using a Pi3 with the OS & library all on a 200GB SD
card.  If I had do it over again, would have put the OS on a smaller SD
and the library on a USB stick, but couldn't find a small USB stick with
200GB and was only an 1/8" or so external.

If he's not particularly computer savvy and doesn't need multi-room
audio, you might want to consider bluetooth speakers or a streaming
device, like chromecast audio.
