Music loving friend needs help -- thanks

I'd appreciate advice on music servers, or other related suggestions. Due to a stroke, a music loving friend can only use one hand (not his dominate one). Movement in one leg was also lost. Likely he will get an electric wheel chair which would enable his ability to move on his own initiative. I hope these handicaps are temporary. Still it is imperative he has a way that he can play and listen to music in the near future.

I apologize for asking what I suspect are such rudimentary questions that the answers are common knowledge to most audiophiles. I am out of the loop regarding most things digital and as the need is urgent won't have time to educate myself without assistance. I’m hoping some members can provide relevant advice.

Although his tastes are diverse, he listens primarily to classical (both orchestral and chamber), many types of jazz, vocalists performing jazz to popular, some Brazilian and other world music, and a sprinkling of rock. His taste in classical music is significantly more varied than the basic repertoire.

My friend prefers to listen to his extensive collection of LPs, though has an extensive CD collection which he also listens to. Placing LPs on a turntable seems impossible. I'd think opening a CD case and handling a CD with one hand and dealing with the related movements required to play CDs also would be impossible. Hard to say if he can use a remote control. Suppose that depends on a remote’s interface.

Thus I thought of a music server with a touch screen interface. Anyone have an idea besides such a server? Any suggestions on which music servers would work for his physical situation and provide an easy-to-use interface (with the ability to use one hand touch, intuitive to a NON-COMPUTER USER, ease to make selections with a minimum of touch buttons or whatever to select, and handles his listening tastes with a minimum of fuss)? Simple simple simple with a minimum of actions required to perform a task is the key.

In addition to a music server are other components required, such as a DAC? Any suggestions on those components or how to make an educated decision on specific components to buy? Possibly better asked as which features and performance characteristics are key and what are the trade offs in moving up from less to more $$$. All keeping in mind any component requires ease of use for my friend. (Of course he already has an amp. preamp, and speakers.)

If a music server makes the most sense how to handle loading content on the server? If the user has to load the server and LPs and CDs need to be played in real time to accomplish this, the task will be near impossible. Likely there are solutions to this problem.

Any related ideas that I have not mentioned would be appreciated. Much thanks!
