Take a look at this project I did awhile ago.

> I had some small Cambridge Soundwork speakers hanging around and wanted to do something with them, so I decided to use them with a RPi Zero W as a music box. (I still have to figure out a better mounting method) From the ReadMe: This music player reads a folder (called 'songs') and will play the songs in alphabetical order. Once all the songs have been played, it will restart the list. You can Pause/Resume play, Skip to the next song, go to the previous song and stop playing …

I used a dashboard `silder` to send the volume via an `exec` node to `amixer` on the Pi.

You could try that out.
