which player for my son? Can someone explain, also, if we can listen to music from the Clip without headphones?

Yeah, if you plug the clip into speakers it will play through them. Many stereos nowadays come with this feature (usually referred to as "mp3" on the remote or controls) and you can get plenty of mini speakers in various price ranges that would work for it. The clip works great and would be great for a nine-year-old.

I don't have this particular model, but one that is very similiar to it from Sony. They are very easy to use by anyone. Even for people who are electronically challenged as you describe, it should be no problem for your parent to use on their own once they allow themselves to get used to it. If the player itself needs certain setup adjustments, you may have to do that if they can't, but once they're made, the player should be no problem for them to use after that.

There are a few places online you can purchase HD music, HDTracks and Acousticsounds SuperHiRez are the main stream ones, but there are others just Google "HD Music Downloads" and you will see the rest. Ponomusic will also have them at some point in the future, my guess would be around October when they ship their first players.

Thanks, Vee. My husband looked at the pdf manual yesterday afternoon and wrote this from work: "This is their page, and on the `support` tab you can see the entire manual in pdf form. I glanced at it, it does not have a headphone socket, but it has a digital audio output socket. You can get digital audio headphones for about $25-30.?"So I think we are getting somewhere now. We are going to look at the actual television at a local store, talk with the salespeople, then probably come back to purchase from Amazon, which has the lowest price.My husband is not an electronics expert, so going to see for ourselves will be the best confirmation, yet.

OK, I see you've already received two comments, which contradict each other. The second responder is correct, there is not a headphone jack. So, you may not be interested in this machine anyway, but trust me, this is AWESOME. My husband and I play videos on it also (portability is key... nuff said) and the picture is crisp, sound is great. We had an older model and the newer innovations are a plus. You can pretty much disregard Karrol, because he/she must be talking about something else. Besides, when has there been any difficulty returning anything to Amazon - they are the greatest, most accommodating company regarding returns ever.

The player has a 3.5mm jack which is standard for headphones used on computers and other audio devices. The player comes with one ear bud.

Without music and rainforest sound is an option. The music plays then does cut off after some time. The parent can use the remote to turn it back on.

i have bought these LeapPad's for my grand daughters for Christmas so don't really know much about them. I do believe there is a MP3 App enabling music to be downloaded along with videos etc and am told the App is very good. Sorry I cant be much more helpful. Maybe you could "Google" more info

Thanks for contacting us. Yes, you can listen to music without a headphone.

the video is .MP4 so I am guessing that the audio would either be MP3 or AAC. I don't know how to check. I have never had trouble playing .MP4 with anything, it is the most commonly used format.

Thanks for the reply! I will definately start downloading music at a higher format. As for my office, know my co-workers are in the office because I can hear their keyboard clicking as they type, up to 3 cubes away. I really like these headphones, but have decided to play it safe and go with the AudioTechnica M50 instead. Maybe next purchase I'll get the HD555 sens for home or something.

You might be able to get some type of speaker for the player. Other than that possibility, you do have to have some kind of headphones to listen to it.

Dear friend, thank you for your question. No, there is not a way to play music from this player without a TV. A TV with HDMI or AV input ports is actually necessary. Hope that this will help. Keedox Customer Service Maria

There have already been replies on lack of a headphone jack. A bigger liability on this player is it's limitations on playing CD-R's. I have an old boombox that can play CD-R's that the Sony SCD-CE595 fails on.

I am not aware of any way to hear the music without having the item in hand... unless someone records it and transmits the file.

I highly recommend the Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Music Player with Microphone for kids. It is a music player with a microphone. It is expensive (about $50), but has served us incredibly well over the past 6 years with two small boys. Amazon doesn't seem to have it at the moment, but check other places. For something smaller and cheaper - try B. Okideoke Microphone (about $15 on Amazon). It will project sound, plays songs and records. Good for the small ones...

Just checking, the Leapad does NOT play videos or music? We were about to buy it for my 5 years old nephew, but I we want something that can play movies and music, so we don't have carry his portable dvd player along anymore, or use our phones for him to watch videos or listen to music. I had not even considered the Innotab, but being able to play videos and music on the tablet is hands down better than having a built in camera, imo. Could somebody confirm this, thank you.
