I am looking for an MP3 player that is easily usable by a non-techie elderly person.

The best I found so far is the 2Gb Apple iPod shuffle. It is small, light, doesn't have a LED display that an elderly person has a hard time reading anyway, the form is durable than most, it can be charged via usb port (in contrast to other players nga battery-dependent only).

Nana diri naka-try na ug palit for the same purpose as I? What did u end up buying?

Please mo suggest another model and please indicate why I would consider that one. I already spent 3 days looking at actual prices at SM & Ayala and reading some reviews of some models they have.
