asking on the MythTV list what you could use instead is unlikely to
produce the responses you are looking for (we are here because we think
MythTV is the best solution for our use cases)

what you are looking for sounds like finishing the DLNA media renderer
in mythfrontend and a decent DLNA control point application (aka remote
control) and mythbackend serving the music via DLNA.

Many parts of that are already done but the whole integration is
missing.

You might want to look into MPD or Squeezebox for other solutions.
