music player for toddlers

(originally posted in the wrong place, apologies)

Can anyone recommend a basic/simple music player suitable for a 12 month old toddler, that we can upload songs/MP3s to it (say six songs or so), then they have six different coloured buttons for each song, that gets played when they press it? I've seen some music players for older children or where you can have hundreds of songs/playlists, but I'm thinking something for younger children with fewer songs if anyone knows of anything. Thanks.

I use a Yoto personally ( player where you put cards in and take them out) child can turn the dial on the right to skip songs, it gives a little stationary picture related to the song playing. Only had one or 2 cards for ages as there's about 10 songs on the cards, now he's older he has more cards with books etc on them

Alternatively at that age we had 'song books' with buttons down the side to play old McDonald etc, depends what you like

I haven't seen one sort of like an iPlayer but with 6 buttons or so for songs but there may be one I'm not aware of

Oh, ditty bird books are great too theres a button on each page they press and it plays a song

Hi HAF, many thanks. The Yoto does look good, a modern version of the old Fisher Price records player we had. Something like that would be great if you could add your own songs - I'd be surprised these days if there's nothing available that would do that, but I haven't been able to find anything so far.

And yes I am looking for non-device non-screen type solutions so what you suggested is on the right track.
