TheSimple Music Player is excellent. The stop and play function by lifting or closing the lid is genius in its design.This is not a radio. It is designed to play your music that you have downloaded on to the Simple Music Player or on to a USB stick. So, if that sentence confuses you then you may need a little help if you are not tech savvy. But that is what children and grandchildren are for.

Instructions are simple and linking to the Simple Music Player is easy. Once you have loaded your music up to the Simple Music Player then it is as simple as opening and closing the lid to play and pause.Volume controls are located at the bottom of the player, out of the way, to avoid confusion.The Simple Music Player has the look and feel of an old wireless radio.
