Dad has decided he wants to move from a CD player to an MP3 player! I own an iPod, but I fear that the decreased motor skills in his hands coupled with (1) the dexterity needed to select music and (2) the tiny earbuds would frustrate him.

Does anyone have experience with an MP3 player that is user friendly? Or, perhaps an accommodation idea? If I can find speakers, they would eliminate the earbud/headphone issue.

Crazy request, I know. I'm working hard to make him smile in any way. :)
 
It was an MP3 player that made me realize that something was up with my dad.
I bought him one, and then regretted it when I watched how much trouble he had with the little buttons... at the time I thought "Oh, my dad is getting old", but obviously it turned out to be more than that.

He stuck in the end with a CD Discman with big fat buttons and clunky CDs that were easier to manage.
 
Just a thought.

Does your dad have a cell phone ?
Is the plan upgrade-able ?

My friend has an Iphone 3g. It is very easy to use the touch screen with my fat "lazy" fingers.

Like I said , just a thought.
