Switch with infrared remote between internet radiostations and playlists possible?

Hello, I am using one of my pis as radio and musicplayer. So no display is connected to my pi. Is it possible to switch with a infrared remote between internet radiostations and playlists? It would be nice to have a remote with diffrent numbers 0-9 for diffrent stations or/and playlists. I guess to shut down the pi via remote want be a problem. But to switch as discribed?

I guess this somehow is possible but wondering if you might be better of with a remote on your smartphone e.g. Yatse or Kore.

I am using the radio in my bathroom. And therefor I dont have my phone with me. And I think Phone-remotes are not really comftable in useing…
