[BlindTlk] Music Media Question

I too would suggest an echo dot if she has wi-fi where she is.

Hi, if she has access to Wi-Fi where she is at, I would highly recommend an Amazon echo dot. This is a smaller speaker that while it does not have big booming sound, sounds pretty decent for what it is. If she is able to speak it, she could say something like, alexa, play Christian music. You will need to configure it with an Amazon account whether it is yours or hers, and there will need to be decent Wi-Fi where it is located. If you have Amazon echo speakers where you live, you could even possibly set up a drop in feature to speak with her anytime as well. Similar things have been done with others that I have helped with who have elderly parents or family members in similar situations.
