“Simple to use and better than listening to the radio with it's distracting news and chatter”

Helpful Report

“The music player is ideal for people with dementia, it’s easy to use and sturdy enough for hands that shake. A bit of knowledge about converting cd’s to mp3s would be useful.”

“Bought for mum in a care home, well built and easy to use product”

“This is a great idea but there was an issue over the type of files that it will accept. It turned out that my iTunes purchases couldn't be used without converting them to MP3. It was not made clear in the guidance that MP3 files are the only ones that can be used. Luckily I was able to consult my son when the songs weren't being transferred from my computer and he realised what the problem was and was able to convert them to MP3. Not everyone would be able to do this - I certainly couldn't!”

“We bought this for my mum who is Irish but unfortunately is now in a care home and does get confused easily. Loaded up with Irish songs and so easy to use she loves it”

“We bought this for my 92 year old mum who has forgotten how to use the CD player although she hasn’t got Alzheimer’s, but she loved her music and missed it. We gave it to her last week and she absolutely loves it. The only thing I would say is it’s a shame she can’t change the volume easily as being hard of hearing, she has to turn it off when having visitors. But I totally understand the reason for that and I think this is a wonderful invention. Thank you so much for bring music back into my mum’s life.”

“Nice little unit. Easy set up and sound quality is good. Easy to use. However, be aware of one design problem. The unit sorts the music you load onto it by artist name. This means you cannot arrange a play list order as artist name in the file is not editable. Only the track name is. It will still be a great addition to my farther in laws life as he has dementia and is bed ridden. Just been informed by Tom that the music is played in the order it is copied across. So, tried it and it work just fine. So, copy each song one at a time and u can have an ordered play list.”

We're sorry to hear our customer is having problems when trying to change the play order of tracks on their simple music player. Changing the playing order is possible with the simple music player but it currently requires uploading the tracks in the order required. We've emailed our customer detailed instructions. If any of our customers require detailed up-to-date instructions on how to change the playing order please contact our support team after placing your order, who will be happy to help.
