You could use a large buttoned bluetooth speaker (or one with Jack in)
connected to a USB music player that fits with all your other
requirements except button size, many are controllable from the
speakers end, this might be a different approach to the problem as you
then just have to find the music player that fits your other needs.
If your USB music player had jack out it could then be used for
headphones or a stereo systems input.
Agptek are one manufacturer of USB music players that comes to mind,
these normally support flac/mp3/wav amongst others.
