My son (22yo) is asking what MP3 player kits are available in Australia.
I've asked him for more details on what he has in mind (that isn't covered
by commercial units), but I can say that he's a competent (degreed)
programmer who also knows how to use a soldering iron (though he hasn't
built many circuits), so something with available software source code
and an open development platform would be excellent. More details when
he replies to my email... meantime...

Any suggestions?

I built one of these in a rack box with a couple of power amps and a removable
hard drive.

Has been going well for several years now.

You mean a DVD video movie format on the USB memory, to video out?

Don't think I have seen anything along those lines to date.
You had an application in mind?

Could get a
board from sparkfun.com then control it with <insert favourite
microcontroller>
and interface to an sd card to load the music from.

http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id51%9

http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id78%32

Fairly easy with a  pic or avr or <insert favourite micro>

Not sure if Don resells any of the vs1002 boards


Alex
