I bought the shaker for my nephew who is slow and has difficulty with hand, eye co-ordination. The mp3 player he currently owns he is unable to control the volume and change the songs by himself. He also has difficulty turning the mp3 player on & off that he has now. With the shaker when you turn it on it makes a "clip clop" noise like a horse. When you turn it off it sounds like a drum roll winding down. My 10 year old daughter tested it out & loves it. I am certain he will be able to enjoy himself and use this device on his own. I am now buying this for my 10 year old & my other nephew as well. I have shown it to many family & friends and they're buying them as well. This is great for kids & adults.

Cons:
The battery/SD cover seems to be a loose fit and could potentially come off too easily. While it has not been a problem for us, our little girl has not taken it off yet, I predict that when she figures that out, it'll be a problem.

If you take steps to getting more than 120 songs on there, such as format as FAT32, or creating folders to put additional songs in, then the unit will still operate, but the random feature will stop working and it...Read more
