Would this be good for one in a care facility, poor eyesight. There a way to FF or skip to other songs?

I think so. Volume can be set to a maximum level or use earphones. There are 3 buttons across the front for forward, back and stop. The LED screen is, I think, small and hard to read the song title but the number of the song, i.e. 001, 002, etc. is larger and so you could use a paper showing the list and corresponding number and make that as large as needed. If it is hard to memorize the back, forward and or stop buttons you could probably affix a sticker that tells the function. Hope this answers your questions.

Yeah I think it could work. Not sure someone with significantly impaired vision could see the screen that displays the name of the song playing but the buttons to move forward or backwards to different songs are very big and easy to feel and use.

Well, seeing as how mine is still siting in my drawer, a useless lump with buggy firmware and abandoned by their tech support after 4 tickets, I can't recommend it to anyone.

Absolutely. We got one for our mother who had moderate dementia and she LOVED it. It's the perfect size to hold, and the buttons are big enough that she could repeat a song or move on to the next one without any problem. We were able to fit her entire music collection on it. The best part was that it only had her music on it - there was no way she would have to listen to music she didn't like.

https://m.reddit.com/comments/286hv7Check the above link out - video of someone who plugged in a violin and how exactly they tuned it to the game- like someone else said you'd have to figure out yourself how notes correlate to the tablature which will be a complication and also just a downside to the game as you won't be able to read music afterwards

Not sure if you can but I wouldn't. Every time me player moved a little, my CD would skip. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

I think there might be a shuffle setting but it is very difficult to see the name of the songs. Whatever order you have your songs listed in a folder, is the order that they play. I found the interface difficult to navigate. I bought this for my 3yr old and decided to return it.

I also use this for a relative with Alzheimer's. We recorded "please remember to wash your hands" and stuck it by the bathroom door, it will loop as long as the eye detects movement. The unit is fairly loud, my 80 year old grandfather could hear it fine. I only purchased one, however.

it only plays parts of each song...Twinkle twinkle little star, Farmer in the dell, Are you sleeping brother John (can't spell the French words) a couple more which sound familiar but I do not know the words. My grandson loves it. it is the ONLY thing that soothes him in any situation. A GREAT BUY!!

Sadly, no. The lights and music are a package deal. Mercifully, there are multiple songs to choose from, which is a small step toward preserving sanity. Other than this minor complaint, Freddie the Firefly was one of the best investments we made for our baby's nursery.

could not find where if it is possible. only thing i found is press to skip to next song

I'm afraid not. I began using a 2nd stand, which is fantastic for my nearsightedness. Unfortunately, a little impractical for most working musicians

Yes Duane Smith that was what I thought too but I had to click play on each and every chapter unfortunately. I gues that is how it works. Before I purchased this I had a talking Bible in form of an Ipod that just reads continiously but it got spoilt. I thought this would do the same but it does not.

Yes, Susan. This was purchased for my 84 yr old mother to take to her church choir practices. She doesn't read music or hear as well as she used to, but she still loves to sing and is very active in her church choir and also a Senior Music Group my sister in law has at her church. So, Momma takes the cassette player and her 120 minute tapes that we also bought from Amazon as they are getting hard to find so when we find them, we buy several, and she comes home with her sheet music and listens to the playback and learns the songs. Hope this helps you in making a decision about this cassette recorder. We have been very pleased with the purchase

You can select music on the display panel. It is much slower than using the applet. It requires a combination of turning the knob to scroll and then using the knob as a button to select what you want to play. The applet works great and can be installed on many different types of devices. I used the panel option on the hard drive version of this player, the CDR-1500. It is much slower to use the panel.

Can't say for sure how long the 2 different songs play but it is just seconds. When it's being driven you can't hear them anyway! Not sure if yours is defective. Our grandson loves it and he was 2 1/2 when we gave it to him and he is now just over 4!

Great - another neat option is the flash drive port. You can plug-in a flash drive with WAV files, and a list will appear on the screen. You can then scroll through and play with the songs.

Not that easy, by the time you see it and can react, you are about 3 notes behind. I use it more as of a guide to watch which notes it suggest played by which finger before I try learning the song, but it is essentially useless for see this while playing.

The song title is displayed while it is playing. I haven't figured out how to search for specific songs yet. The instruction manual is very short and leaves out many details.

Yes. That's what we were using it for. That being said, the light this thing kicks out is harsh....really harsh to the point of hurting your eyes as you read the notes. It's value is in it's portability. It's much better as an emergency source of light than something to read music by.
