Mp3 player for the old dears :)

rampantglory

Hi
Sorry if this has been asked before
My mother god bless her wants an mp3 player , she would like a radio and music.
It must be easy to use with biggish buttons and not too heavy.

i will be putting any/all music on So just plug n play for her

Any advice is hugely appreciated

Thanks

this (frequently recommended) will do all that and is simple to use.

How is your mother getting on with her Sansa Clip?

I have one.

My wish would be. Bigger, bigger display and AAA batteries.

The operating system works well otherwise.:)

the device is small but the buttons are easy to use - shouldn't be a big problem for your mum I would say.

I'm not able to buy this off amazon? Where else can I get it for under €50?

Edit: I see there's a thread about this but apart from pixmania, are there any places selling it?

She really liked it , I put music on set up her radio etc told her how to use as simply n plainly as possible
I only gave it to her on Saturday but accounts are good so far she was out in the garden rockin to elvis lol


I think she can't read the display perfectly just kinda recognising a few letters but hey she's happy

Thanks for that, I liked mine too but gave it the OH as I could not read the titles that well.

Got this

€32 delivered and with this one I can now read the titles, happy days.:)

Screen looks nice good size. I don't like Sony as they (used to) make u change everything to aac or sone other codec which wasn't highly compatible with other products. But they were good n solid/reliable

Thats over AFAIK, I'm very happy with it I even got one of those silicon cover cases to protect it.:)

The icing on the cake would be a standard mini USB socket.:mad:

I can live with it.

Cream dela cream would be the micro SD input, I'm sure one day they'll get to that.:)
