The problem is that LMS is a server and from time to time it will write to the sd-card. If you kill it while is is writing I suppose you will be able to break it.
I think it would minimize the risk of corruption of the SD-card if you move the cache and preference folder to an attached HDD or USB flash drive. /Steen piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.
