That would be nice.
I highly recommend you consider piCorePlayer, a very lightweight Linux OS dedicated to making it easy to install the Squeezelite virtual player and/or LMS on a PI. I'm totally unfamiliar with the options for using it with a display, but I know there are options. A web browser may or may not be one of those options. You can find out a lot more at https://www.picoreplayer.org and in appropriate threads in the Linux forum here. The most recent release thread is the one announcing version 6.0.0. I think you'll find that many have done what you plan and will be able to offer advice. I only use pCP as a player, so there's not much more I can say, and it doesn't need to be said in the Material thread anyway!
