VS1053 Stereo Audio MP3 Player Shield with TF Card Slot For Arduino

You can make your own MP3 player device with this VS1053 Stereo Audio MP3 Player Shield with TF Card Slot For Arduino from PMD Way. And you can get started immediately, as the shield arrives fully assembled including inline header pins!

Based around the popular VS1053B from VLSI - a versatile MP3 codec processor that is capable of decoding a variety of music formats - including Ogg Vorbis/MP3/AAC/WMA and MIDI audio.

For the best headphone listening experience, the VS1053 includes EarSpeaker spatial processing which accurately simulates how a room with stereo loudspeakers would sound. A 3.5mm stereo headphone and stereo line out sockets are fitted to the shield, along with a microSD card socket-  for your convenience. 

In addition to being able to decode all major formats, VS1053 is capable of recording a Ogg Vorbis file using data from the SPI bus, or record audio from the shield's electret microphone.
