Another super-cheap MP3 decoder module build / tutorial - great sound quality!

[@dutchflyingwings5862]

Just received mine. Thanks Kris for starting up my new little project. I will start building my kids good night melody radio, to get them in to sleep mode.

[@boblewis5558]

Infinite music doorbell! In my case planning to use it to play Smoke on the Water. Also going to use a tiny 5W class D amp to drive the speaker ... POWA! LOL The amp is the size of the memory socket!!

[@西山秀一-h2x]

非常によくわかりました。音量調整などピンセットで圧力をかけるのですね。TG!

[@retrobombstudios1258]

could leds be added to this.And better still, could it be linked to a pico microcontroller?

[@tonyweavers4292]

This video was a good find. I've just received the one I ordered and thought I'd do a search for info to save any 'magic smoke'

[@FishmanEricRussell]

I wouldn't worry about rambling on people want to here what you have to say. Also if your like me it's a lost cause. I've tried to shorten my videos up and end up just leaving stuff out that I wanted to say

[@allthegearnoidea6752]

Im planning on using one of these for a fun little joke project I have planned. Thanks for the introduction helped me get up and running quickly. Thanks

[@claudio5105]

Hello is possibile start the music with the button "next" because I need to use only one button to start play and go to next track. Thanks

[@mikeberger1688]

What kind of current draw does this have? I want to try and use a battery for occasional use.

How to add 3.5mm audio jack?

[@Civilsitis]

does it plays next song automatically or you have to press "next button"

[@raufanms]

what is naming format in the sd card for multiple mp3 files?i already named all of my mp3 in sd card 01.mp3, 02.mp3, 03.mp3 but next orr previous button not working. its weird the volume button is working if i hold the button for a while.

[@andreryujizampronio5578]

I bought one of these modules, but couldn't make it work. When I turn it on I t makes a pop sound on the spear, followed by a constant white noise. What do I do? Can anyone help me?

[@warhasfrankincense6898]

can i play randomly mp3 using this module? if i have 10 mp3 files, when i play them will play randomly

[@shadmehraria5473]

Hi ,I want to use this module to play specified sound at specified time that control by MCU. So only one track exist in SD card.Every time we disconnect module power supply,I need to play the track from beginning,not resume the track.Would you please help me sir? Can I remove the EEPROM IC?

[@massimookissed1023]

Shadmehr Aria , get an mp3 module that uses the JQ6500 ic. They're small cheap modules, often on a small PCB with 16 pins. A microcontroller / Arduino can use serial instructions to command the play of specific files from SD card, change volume etc.

[@sachinnavod548]

If we put a single audio clip in sd is it play repeatly in this? By default

[@HANSONMEDIAUK]

This would be perfect for my model railway background noise at the station. Thank you.

[@techmago]

Can a make a device (with arduino) that when i press a button, it plays a specific mp3? And then have a bunch of mp3 for each button i add to the arduino?

[@bx_h23]

Do you have a solution? Found this: BY8301-16P SSOP2 Aduio Serial Voice SPI FLASH Module 3W Amplifier

[@TeaboxTV]

Could you please tell me if volume can be saved after power off? I would like this device to always remember the volume

[@englishrupe01]

I don't have one but from what I have read elsewhere i don't think they will. No memory chip onboard.

[@nintones4100]

Yes they do remember the audio

[@MONTY-YTNOM]

Bought a few of these to play with after watching this vid, being new to anything like this, electronics, they looked good for a HAL 9000 project I was making. Did you find any way to get them to play a random track on a press of a button ?

[@vintage_audio_almaty]

stereo ?

[@nor4277]

I have seen Apple nano clones ,for around 3.00 bucks,I wonder what the insides look like ,compare to that module you are useing.yours work well

[@SiddhartSharmabn]

Does it starts playing sd as soon you power it or wait for sec to process ?

[@chronocr7232]

Is the sound quality good??

[@7fabianrodriguez]

Hi, I hope you are very well, thanks a lot for your video. I have a question, is possible set up the random mode on the mp3? The objective is that every time turn on the module, sound a different song. Thanks for your reply, do a nice day.

[@TheJesusr1]

Hi Chris, what would be a similar replacement component to this. The one you have shown is not available anymore. thanks

[@cri8tor]

It's available on eBay.

[@rittagnus]

Hi, im just asking around anyone whos put together one of these if they happen to know if it loops, i.e great that it starts up automatically but does it keep playing by stsrting again at the end of the song? Thanks.

[@NicleT]

That's my question too and I'm two years late at the party!

[@georgesoare7937]

Hi Kris, i have a project in mind and i think you can help me. Please reply

[@마시공방]

What kind of battery did you use?

[@whp61]

When you put that 8 ohm speaker on I thought 'you haven't got a hope in hell'. How wrong I was.

[@KrisCochrane]

I know, I was as surprised as you lol

Can we add headphones jack

[@buas7]

awesome is there a housing for ?

[@revweb983]

Great video! I've tried recreating this build myself, but I'm having an issue: there's a noise floor of a persistent clicking. I have multiple modules, have tried many different mp3 files, speakers, and lithium batteries (3.7V). Any thoughts on what the problem could be?

[@bhajanpatrika7349]

Try reformatting your SD card with FAT32 file system... Then add files to it.

[@jenntek.101]

power delivery perhaps? Are you using a battery to operate? or Are you using a little ac/dc power supply? ... I had a battery charger running on my power strip, and plugged in my MP3 player and I had static "pulses" I unplugged the battery tender, and the pulses/static went away... ...

[@phs125]

I just saw this in a website and wondered what it did. Now I really want to buy and build it. But the cost of a sdcard would be more than the entire project, so I'm not sure. This module : ₹82 0.5W speaker : ₹45 9V battery : ₹20 7805 : ₹10 Which totals ₹157 The cheapest micro sd card, which would be a 32gb, costs ₹400 Would've been nice to have it around if the sdcard was cheaper.

[@samarthmb]

You can buy the board with usb port for 160or low

[@constantmotionify]

Question: Will connecting a female 8mm stereo jack (for headphones) work? And if so do you have a recommendation for an alkaline battery pack that would work as a mobile power source?

[@phs125]

A 9V battery and a voltage regulator would work, but wasteful. (Which is what I would do) Alternatively, a set of 3 AA batteries. Or just go with Li-ion, which is straight forward.

[@jj74qformerlyjailbreak3]

OPA1612 is the Audio Amplifier Chip. If it’s legit the it’s an alright IC amp.

[@NicleT]

Thank you so much for this perfectly timed video!

[@carolinaborneaprendeelctronica]

What kind of format do you use to the memory card ?

[@JohnSAitken]

Edinburgh this end. You?

[@adrineikaiser4256]

Hi Kris, great video! Do you know if it's possible turn on an AMP at this speaker output? Then I could turn on a bigger loudspeaker...

[@nintones4100]

Yes you can

[@GuitoWorks]

the problem with is that dont have onoff button

[@hypnoticatrance]

but you know what a switch is? just add a switch on the + wire.

[@coondogtheman]

You should glue that board to the back of the speaker and add a small battery 18650 cell and you have a portable mp3 player.

[@shubhamshinde3666]

I was wondering can we use a button cell?

[@coondogtheman]

@@shubhamshinde3666 It must provide 3.7 volts. 2 cr2032 batteries may work but might be too much power. If I had this I'd build it into a power bank. Connect straight to the power bank battery.

[@shubhamshinde3666]

@@coondogtheman thanks man!!❤

[@coondogtheman]

@@shubhamshinde3666 I did this trick with a bluetooth audio adapter that had a dead battery and I got longer runtime. Added a switch to cut the power so I could charge the power bank.

Mines worked for 40 seconds that they broke. Alle 5 of 'em. Used 4.0 volts.

Anyone have one of these and found intermittently a female voice says something in Chinese? It could be trying to say I have a low battery but it shouldn't, since I'm running it on a 5V supply at the moment

Does the board stop when it reaches the end of a sound file?

Josip Balaban good question im interested in this myself as an alternative to an mp3 on hold player- anyone know the answer? I suppose self looping mp3 file would also be an alternative if it worked...
