wolster Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 OK, so I have an elderly friend in a nursing home who loves his music. My idea is to set him up with a Spotify account and build a playlist around the music that he enjoys. Because of other residents, I am thinking that headphones would be preferable, so am looking for some sort of easy to use portable player that could be used with Spotify. Am I restricted to a smart phone or are their other options out there? Any suggestions welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabloke Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I'd recommend the LG V20 phone if you want to carry one device that does it all. As a DAP, go for Onkyo DP-X1A that will allow you to store heaps of Spotify data on the first 256GB micro SD card while the second one could be used for FLACs and mp3s if so you wish. eGlobal has it on special for $679 https://www.eglobaldigitalcameras.com.au/onkyo-dp-x1a-portable-high-resolution-digital-audio-player-black.html I own the first X1 version since January last year and love it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Is their wifi and does he need a high quality player for Spotify? Why not just a smaller Android tablet? If he needs internet from a phone carrier then that means a sim card etc. He may appreciate the larger format as eyesight may be an issue if using a smaller phone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolster Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Thanks, guys. @SteveC Thanks! Hadn't thought of a small tablet with wifi. That will probably be ideal, especially as sound quality is not that important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphanumerix1 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I'm considering the dp-x1a but weary about reports of poor battery life can anyone comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
