With this board you\ncan pull MP3 files from an microSD card and play them using only one shield,\neffectively turning any compatible with Arduino board into a fully functional\nstand-alone MP3 player! The MP3 Shield utilizes the VS1053B MP3 audio decoder\nIC to decode audio files. The VS1053 is also capable of decoding Ogg\nVorbis\/MP3\/AAC\/WMA\/MIDI audio and encoding IMA ADPCM and user-loadable Ogg\nVorbis.The VS1053 receives its input bitstream through a serial input bus\n(SPI). After the stream has been decoded by the IC, the audio is sent out to\nboth a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, as well as a 2-pin 0.1\" pitch header.The\ncenterpiece of the MP3 Player Shield is a VS1053B Audio Codec IC. The VS1053B\nis a multi talented little chip. On top of MP3's, it can also decode Ogg\nVorbis, AAC, WMA, and MIDI. (It's also capable of encoding audio, although\nthat's outside the scope of the MP3 Shield.)Supporting the VS1053B is a µSD\ncard socket, which you can use to store MP3 files on. Using the compatible\nwith Arduino SD library, it's simple to read music files off an SD card, and\nstream them to the VS1053B. There's additional circuitry on-board to level\nshift signals down to the 3.3V maximum allowable by SD cards.This shield comes\npopulated with all components as shown in the images and schematic; but it\ndoes not come with headers installed. We recommend the R3 Stackable Header\nKit.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eAre you looking to add some grooves to your project.
