I'm looking for something for my 90 year old dad who's a complete technophobe to play music on if he wakes up in the night.
A small stereo with a CD player and remote control seems like the most obvious / easiest to use and he'd be familiar with but he'd have to keep getting out of bed to change the CD.
Ideally I'm looking for something I can download mutiple CD's onto (or onto a Memory stick / SD card) and he can just flick through / skip tracks if he wants.
If it was me I'd go with a £20/30 bluetooth speaker and use my phone but he won't know what to do it it loses the BT connection but it gives you an idea of the level of quality needed, it is pretty basic.
A small speaker with a remote control to switch it on and off and Aux in may be an option, I think he's got an MP3 player somewhere (Not sure it still works) and could just take a long lead to plug it in.
If anyone knows of anything that would fit the bill, either a full system or the 2nd option of small speaker, suggestions much appreciated.
