The Easy Music Player is perfect for someone who get confused whilst trying to operate a radio. It is so simple to use. Set it up and use the big button on top to play or stop, it’s that simple! 

Instructions are easy to follow. Though I would recommend that someone else sets up the radio stations if the person with dementia or cognitive issues does not have the capacity to understand a little technology. Once the station or USB is chosen and volume is set then the controls can be hidden away behind the panel.

Operation thereafter is the big button on top of the Easy Music Player. Press once to play. Press a second time to stop. That’s it. Music is clear, volume is adequate. The Easy music player is small and can be used on the rechargeable battery inside or outside. Comes in an array of colours to suit your preference.

I did have a small problem in my cottage, that was the DAB radio signal. I have big trees in the grounds, and this prevented a good signal unless I held the antenna. USB worked fine; it was just the radio signal. But I moved it around and found a home for it in the community centre where everyone could enjoy the music. They also found the Easy Music Player very easy to operate. I mean, who wouldn’t. It’s a one button operation.

There is another model that operates the same but uses Wi-Fi signal. Slightly more expensive, but if you think you may have a DAB signal problem then the Wi-Fi model is the one you want
