Recently I have been using Raspberry Pi for that purpose. Very easy to set up and the OS (Raspbian) come with a powerful video/audio player: omxplayer that can be triggered at start-up with a simple line: "omxplayer mywav.wav" or "omxplayer mylist.txt". I have been testing them in an installation setup for more than 5 weeks 24/24 7/7 without a single crash, reboot, etc. The new audio out on the more recent Pi are somehow disapointing. But these 5$ USB sound cards are great (for the price!) (tested): https://www.adafruit.com/product/1475. An affordable solution of course.
More recently, I have also used Intel NUC as audio/video media player: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/boards-kits/nuc/kits/nuc5i5ryh.html. More expensive, but much more powerful. You still have to get the RAM and SSD for the NUC, so the budget is increased. Up to 4K video player without problem, super stable the device spent 3 week outdoor without crash. Running with Ubuntu and again omxplayer as media player.
What is great with omxplayer, is that you don't see the OS, and you have simple keyboard control (+/- for volume, arrows for seek, FF, and possibly next in a playlist. Not sure for that one. Other media player are available on Linux. Including mplayer.

Best!

J'ai pas de capture parce que omxplayer et mplayer sont en "command line" et il n'y a pas vraiment d'interface. Donc, en fullscreen avec de l'audio uniquement, ça devrait être noir.
Peut-être que ces outils command line ne sont pas adaptés à ces besoins de sélection interactive.
Pour un UI, il y a KODI qui est super :

Et avec tous les "skins" disponibles, tu peux trouver quelque chose avec une esthétique plus simple. De mémoire, tu dois aussi pouvoir forcer KODI à ne pas montrer d'onglet video, etc. https://mediaexperience.com/awesome-xbmc-skins/
Possible d'ajouter texte, images, etc. Par contre, c'est pas "bullet proof", donc les visiteurs peuvent le quitter ou l'éteindre. Fonctionne pour Linux et Windows, peut-être même Mac.
Testé KODI sur NUC et Pi depuis plusieurs années. Marche très bien. En fait, c'est mon media player de salon.
Aussi possible avec Linux de bypasser l'OS principal pour uniquement rouler KODI.
Bye!

ah ok got it, those links were helpful. that does look like a cool approach (they also produce a 7-in touchscreen) and i could perhaps find other uses for it post-exhibit.
aside from the obvious (self-built, not apple...) what would the advantages be for me over, say, a media player, in which i could use album titles to categorize types of miniatures, or make playlists...?

awesome, those look very cool, nicely done boxes! certain to be a little too involved for the needs of this exhibition, but what are the sound units made of/with?
