Dementia Radio & Music Player FM / DAB+ / MP3

MP3* music files need to be downloaded onto a USB memory stick, which is then inserted into the back of the Relish radio and concealed with the back panel. The number of songs that can be stored will depend on the size of the USB you use. A 4MB USB can usually store around 250 songs. When the user wishes to listen to their own music, they simply press the "My Playlist" button on the top panel of the music player. Please refer to the manual accompanying the radio for guidance on how to download music.

The radio does not currently support music downloaded via Mac.

*Music must be downloaded as MP3 files only

Use a standard USB stick (version 2.0 or 3.0). Before adding music, make sure you format it to "FAT32". (You can usually do this easily on your computer by right-clicking the USB drive and selecting "Format.") Once formatted, add your music files.

Please only use a USB up to 32GB. This will be ample for 2000+ songs to be stored.

Yes – setup is simple. Just follow the steps in the manual to save 3 favourite radio stations and load music (in MP3 format) onto the USB stick. Once that’s done, the person using it only needs to use the buttons on top of the radio. Need help? Visit our Help Centre – we’re happy to assist.

The radio takes 4 x D-size batteries if you want to use it without the power cord.

Using both the radio and "My Playlist" features or playing at higher volumes may reduce battery life.
