Is there a simple MP3 player? Oh my
Oh thanks! I am just going to try the link!
I think there is an opening here for some young techie to make a lot of money by coming up with simple interfaces that the tech-challenged can use. One could load them by the backdoor. I wonder if they could be beamed to a headset. Someone who is gadget averse could work the simple controls while someone techsavvy would load it up. (Quality time with the PWD, seeing what they responded to- and making a playlist of that!)
What if there was a flat screen with images that would show as long as the watcher was responsive to them. When they turned away, up would come another- a window onto the sea or on a garden in the wind, or on birds... But my father is fascinated by a kindle screen, a glowing little theatre. Music is great because it is sublime. Certain music can lift everyone- the resentful, the tired, overworked among us, as well!
whileaway, we found a simple MP3 player that has become invaluable for my mum, who loves to listen and sing along to her music but had lost the ability to operate her CD player.
It is one of only two of the many dementia friendly devices we've invested in that she's actually been able to work
I loaded up a selection of her music and I think I got about 480 tracks on there. Mum absolutely loves it.
As I'm a newbie here I am unable to post links but if you google "MP3 Simple Music Player" you will find it. It is for sale on Spring Chicken website (among others) and there is a full explanation on dementiamusic dot co dot uk.
