AT89C51SND2C / AT83SND2C

Has anyone here got any experience with these chips? I'm looking into trying to make a Compact Flash mp3 player using:-

AT89C51SND2C / AT83SND2C - Microcontroller with MP3 decoder, DAC and amplifier, as well as compact flash interface and USB facility to update firmware -

Nokia 3310 Display (Philips PCD8544) - 84x48 B/W screen -

5way Joystick -

LTC3429 - Boost Convertor -

However, I'm finding several problems. Firstly those microcontrollers seem completely unavailable from any shops because they're completely new, also they don't have a development kit yet. Another problem will be their package, BGA100 and I can't seem to find any applicable adapters for this.

Any thoughts, comments, answers? Thanks in advance

Are you sure you want to make this? For not too much money you can buy a complete mp3 player that's likely much smaller that what you can achieve, at least not for the same money. It will save you a lot of hassle I think. You can't really mount BGA's yourself, and you need a fine line multilayer PCB (e.g. expensive) to even get it routed in a reasonable space. Getting hold of these chips will be difficult, especially as a private person. And they will be expensive.

Have you looked into the SND1? This one comes in a TQFP144 package I believe, which is far easier to work with. I have a little player with this chip and a development kit; though I don't have any experience with it, it's collecting dust in a box.

The golden days of DIY MP3 players are gone I guess.
