MP3 player for granny ...sumvison?

mah_jong

Hi a lady well into her 70's has asked about an mp3 player .... the interest has been on going so I am thinking of one as a wee gift.

But I need to buy one that she can easily work, understand ...and whilst she uses head phones sometimes would mainly want to hear the music from the player itself!

I thought for ease a flash player.... no setting up .... no need for big memory the smallest will be ample....came across this one

Do you think it will do the job ?

TIA

Also it menu system for playing is good, because you can search for artist and/or album

Thanks

There are mixed views about the Sumvision, I own a 4gb version which was only £23 from Ebuyer and can use it without a problem. You need a basic understanding of how menus and folders work with this player to use it easily and I suspect your gran may not have this so I would suggest looking elsewhere, maybe a Sony which is good value at the moment.
