[Hidden-tech] Please recommend MP3 player for tech-shy person

[Edbride-PR]

iPod may be easy to play, but remember it has to be loaded, first. Most members on this list can do that pretty readily, but remember your first time...

Are there new models of iPod that include buttons, not just that scroll-around wheel?

  Hi Marcia,

  If there is one thing that can be said about apple products it's that they're user-friendly and intuitive. I'd say an ipod has got to be the way to go, especially for someone who has trouble with technology.

    Hi there,

    I would like to buy an MP3 player for someone who is not very good with gadgets.  It has to be:

    * extremely easy to use

    * have controls that are accessible for someone with imperfect eyesight and finger coordination

    * compatible with library audiobooks

    * a price tag of $100 or less would be nice

    She will use it for listening to audiobooks, not music.

    Think of something you would recommend for someone who has mastered use of a cell phone and regular email/browsing on a computer and very little more complicated than that.

    Most of the MP3 players I have seen have hard to manage, unlabeled buttons and overly techy instructions or no instructions.  The one I bought as a gift for my sister two years ago turned out to be incompatible with Audible.com and public library audiobooks.  This is for someone else, but I don't want to make a similar mistake!

    Thanks,

    Marcia Yudkin
