Love it!!
It's so "simple" to use! I highly recommend it for people with dementia and special needs adults or children. Normal radios and music players were to confusing for my mom to operate. She has moderate dementia and loves listening to her music. The labels that come with the box are in English and several other languages which is wonderful. I put on the English and German labels for her. There wasn't any label for the black skip button though, I have to make one to remind mom. I tell every one know about this fantastic invention! The only glitch I have run into is I can't load songs with my Chrome laptop and my Android phone. Loading the songs with my desktop was pretty easy. I need to contact the company and see if there is a way to use anything other than the desktop. The music seems to calm mom down and I don't want to take it away to load more songs. This is a great piece of equipment. Well worth the money. It sounds really good and feels sturdy. We've had it for 2 months, so far so good!

Good quality
Great idea and good quality, allows my dad to listen to music again since he can’t operate a normal radio anymore. We did take off the music that came with it (he’s in his 80s but the music on there was from before his day) But it was pretty easy to add songs that he would enjoy. Sound quality is very good.

I only wish I knew of this player sooner
For those of you with parents that find using cd players and radios difficult to use, you should consider this player. I got it for my mom who has dementia and hasn’t been able to use a cd player for years. This is simple enough for her to be able to read and see that she just needs to lift the lever to play music.Volume setting is easy to do, but does make it hard for others unfamiliar with the product to know how to adjust the volume. But that was done so for reason so the person using it doesn’t have to deal with fumbling with the volume.It sounds well and works well. If I were to have to find a con, it would have to be about the preloaded music. My mom is 80 and she’s too young for the music that comes preloaded. Her prime time would have been more of the 60s, not the 30s and 40s.I personally stream all my music and so I found it very difficult to find music from the 60s. I’m not from that time. Sure, I can download music from the Beatles. But I’m sure there were many many more artist from that time. I did come across a good number of “hits from the 60s” albums that I could download from Apple and Amazon and Google, but none were from the original artists despite how hard they tried to deceive me. I finally searched around online and found a website that has 100 hits from the 60s all from original recordings. Anyway, I just wish we could have these preloaded. Or provide websites of where and how to get this music.

Love this, but a few improvements would be nice.
This is a great product for anyone who is struggling with memory loss. Music is soothing for them and this is easy to use once someone has loaded the music for them. A few things we don't like. The volume control is exteremely poorly designed and difficult to use. You have to push something (like a pen or pin) into a hole in the back - I can barely do it, let alone my dad. We also don't like that it always starts with the preloaded music (which I think we can remove, but haven't yet) - it would be nice if it would start where you left off. Overall though it has been a great purchase for Dad who suffers from dementia.

I wanted to love it BUT
The overall box is well made and if it worked it would have been wonderful. For the life of me I could not get the external stick to work, nor could I upload to it.The radio is OK but for the price it is NOT OK.The On/Off button didn't work very well either, it barely popped up and it was difficult to get it to turn on. I could not get it to preset stations so essentially itis a standard portable radio in a nice box.The sound was fair at best, I just purchased a regular radio/cd player that sounds so much better for less than half the price.Great Idea from the manufacturer however the execution and support are lacking

Purchased unit for senior loved one. I found it extremely easy to load with their favourite music. No unnecessary buttons to cause confusion. Quick and easy for my loved one to turn on and off. I highly recommend.

Furious - it's useless
Bought this for a Christmas present. It comes with what looks like a USA plug, so useless for UK use. Amazon should not sell it on this site. And I think it's illegal to sell electrical equipment with incorrect plugs for power.

"SIMPLY " IDEAL FOR MY WIFE WHO IS RECOVERING FROM A STROKE/DEMENTIA .
I had to exchange the first player I bought . Seems I was the unfortunate "one in a million " to receive a faulty one . But Monmouth based E2 L Products with admiral efficiency & speed replaced my KOTO Music player . I gave it to her in time for her 79th birthday . Travel was our great hobby and now I know she is really enjoying music/songs from the Beatles to Bocelli & everything in between . Our family are delighted at their mums smiles ,when memories are recalled . Strongly recommended the KOTO music player for those in similar situations .
