mp3 player recommendation

[m1956]

Hi,  can anyone recommend a player that would be appropriate for my 80 yr old dad to be able to use? he just recently went to the nursing home for the first time and most likely will be staying and i would like to find something that he can use without difficulty. guess that goes without saying. he has brain damage from previous sport injuries as well as alzheimers.
thanx

I am sorry to hear about your Dad and I am afriad I dont know much about the MP3 player other than they are good, I am hopingothers here may know but we also have an expert /Doctor forum and the Doctor is very interested I think he may have some input for you, so go back to forums check out alzheimers forum on the right side wher it says epert Forum . Good Luck I hope he does well.

I would suggest the Apple Ipod Shuffle 2nd generation, the Sansa Clip is another (but it has a screen on it, so it may confuse him).   The shuffle  has no screen, but the controls on the front are pretty easy to understand.  There are even less expensive models that are USB compatible.  They have very basic controls.
