Description
Features
Minimal controls
Volume is set by family or caregivers through a pencil-point hole, making it difficult to accidentally change.
Adding more music
Add up to 1,000* additional songs to the 4GB** internal flash memory. The player supports a range of formats and provides instructions for how to change music. (SMPL suggests about 25 to 40 songs for people with dementia.)
Ancillary controls
User controls can be mimicked using remote switches (not included) via the back panel. There’s also a headphone jack.
Highly durable construction
Boasts a strong wooden enclosure with a high-strength plastic covering. The loudspeaker grille is cloth-finished but reinforced with a steel mesh to avoid any damage to the speaker. Rubber feet keep the player in place.

Excellent for my mother who has dementia
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5My mother’s 1940’s music (CDs) was easily loaded into this “radio” as she calls it. It is incredibly easy for her to use. She just lifts the lid and music begins! There is a large button to change the song if that is what she desires. To stop the music she just puts the lid down. The Simple Music Player has added some spice to my mom’s life!

Great for Alzheimers patient
|Posted .I got this for my husband in Stage 6 Alzheimers, as a Christmas gift. He loves music. It was easy to download music to it. I went online and found free music MP3 downloads and downloaded them to my computer - then downloaded from my computer to the Music Player. It was very easy to remove the pre recorded music - neither of us was crazy about 40's big band music.

SIMPL music player

MP3!!!
|Posted .My bad for not seeing that this only takes MP3 music. What is that? I need to bring it back. My mother would have loved the music but I don’t have MP3 music and I am not going to pay iTunes more money for songs to put on this. Old technology.

Very easy way to play music
|Posted .Features
Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:For dadThe music player is exactly as advertised. It plays music just by lifting one large lever. It’s perfect for someone who cant remember how or is unable to manipulate normal controls on typical radios, CD players, etc. I bought it for my dad who has dementia and he enjoys it. It’s easy for someone with average technical skill to add or remove music or other mp3 files and adjust the volume.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionCan audio books be downloaded from Barnes & Nobel, Apple or other book vendors?
Asked by Doctor.
- A:Answer I have not tried that, but I guess I don't know why they could not. We have only downloaded songs onto our music player--songs off the Internet and computer disc player. I think downloading stories is a great idea! The only down side is the inability to rewind, because it is a "Simple" music player, minimal controls. When the lid is lifted, it starts playing where it left off. The button under the lid, when pressed, will jump to the next song. When the unit is unplugged, it goes back to the beginning. I will add that my mother very much enjoys her music player. It was a good purchase.

Q: QuestionIs there a volume control on this?
Asked by mimi92.
- A:Answer Yes. U have to stick a paper clip into a small hole on device to do it. So not easy for patient to do it and make it too loud by mistake.
