Where can I buy a thing that works in a similar way?
I'd like to give it to an elderly person to listen to audiobooks:
- one easily pressed button resumes playback from last position in last played track
- one easily pressed button turns off
- physical volume knob
that would be the minimum, but you get the idea. I cannot find a single such device:
- either the player does not remember track position (that is normal for music)
- or it is a touchscreen android device with an app
Does such thing even exist? Can it be reasonably DIYed?
