MP3 Sound Module

I have bought 3 of these mp3 sound cards and have made 2 music boxes for my Grand children which they love. Had a problem with one, which would only play for 20secs, I contacted the seller and they sent me a replacement straight away. Excellent service and excellent product for the price.

I used this for a toy i was making. At first it wasn’t showing up on my computer and kept repeating the startup sound but it turns out i was using a bad cable. An old phone charger should work. Overall great product might get it again if i start another product

This is a brilliant little circuit. I put the item inside a frame containing illuminated film cells and it plays part of the soundtrack for the film along with 15 minutes of dialogue from key scenes. I reduced the size of the mp3 files to just 32k and they still sounded really good, even with the speaker provided. I did however rewire a slightly more powerful 3w 8ohm speaker onto the board instead, which took just minutes, and the sound produced was even better. My only gripe is that the memory size is 4MB as opposed to 8MB on other circuits available, but they do not play multiple or random tracks as this does. Depending on your needs; if you’re making a prop or a little project like me, you could just buy a nano mp3 player and speaker, or you could use this. It’s brilliant.

Very poor product, won’t recognise in the pc so you can’t do anything with it , the thing just plays a stupid noise constantly

Being a prop maker who spends most of his spare time making gadgets and gizmos, I have bough several of these from all over the world. This is one of the best. The speaker, circuit board and button are tiny, so will easily fit inside a small toy. But - most importantly - it takes full-sized AAA batteries and has an on/off switch. I find sound chips that you can't switch off and run on button cells constantly run flat and are fiddly and expensive to replace. With basic soldering skills you can easily change the power supply or speaker if you wish, and this company sell different switches if you need one. As it doesn't come with a USB PC cable, make sure that the one you use is a thick data cable. I wasted half an hour trying to add an MP3 sound file through a cheap little wire designed only for charging. When I realized my mistake and swapped cables it took seconds to upload my sound (no complex instructions or software downloads needed) and the quality is loud and clear. If my girlfriend lets me, I will be buying more of these and making yet more noisy toys...

Was a bit hesitant but it all works fine. Batteries not included (3 xAAA).

I installed one of these to a 6v ride on car, it will play a song as long as you compress it to be less than 4mb of course, it is glitchy though. Initially it had problems playing the sound but this was because the batteries all need to be a good brand and all of them full power, it will have trouble playing the file otherwise. Sometimes the sound stops half way and repeats, or only for a few seconds and repeats, other times then it'll play all the way through.It would be better if they had used 4 AA batteries imo, to give it the boost it needs, and also then having the ability to play different files one after the other, this just plays just the one sound however many you put on there.

Used for my boys GCSE design project..worked well and easy to use...only slight negative was length of wires connecting components
