Does anyone have any suggestions for a simple MP3 player or similar we could get and put music on for my mum to listen to. I have already got a Simple Music Player from http://www.dementiamusic.co.uk/, and put music on it for her. But it's SO simple that you can't choose what to listen to, it just plays when you lift the lid and stops when you close it. Which would be fine if it started from where it left off, but it just goes back to the beginning!
It doesn't seem to bother my mum all that much - but any of us who visit are getting a bit fed up with Haydn's Toy Symphony! (Or possibly Leopold Mozart, there seems to be some uncertainty as to who composed it ... but I digress!) It does let you skip on to the next piece, so we can listen to Bryn Terfel too, and sometimes get Mozart's Requiem, but rarely get to Janet Baker at the end of the playlist I put on there!
I wondered if there was anything around which is just as simple to use, but which has the capacity for someone (not necessarily my mum) to change the playlist occasionally. The only way to do it on this one is for me to take a laptop and plug it in.
Just seeing if the collective Talking Point experience has any suggestions to offer!
