==Introduction==
[[File:$_12.jpg]]

This tiny board is designed based on VS1053B from VLSI. VS1053 is a versatile MP3 codec processor that is capable of decoding a variety of music formats,including Ogg Vorbis/MP3/AAC/WMA/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. In addition to being able to decode all major formats, VS1053 is capable of recording in Ogg Vobis file.<br>

With the SD card slot on the other side of the board, you can play mp3 files from SD card using this breakout. It is easily to drop it in your project or make a mp3 player using your Arduino or other microcontroller. <br>

After connecting your Arduino to the VS1053 breakout board, insert the SD card which stores your mp3 files with the filename like  "track001.mp3", "track002.mp3" and etc into the SD card slot.<br>

Download the [http://www.geeetech.com/Documents/MP3%20Shield%20Library%20Demo.rar MP3Shield_Library_Demo] and put them in the folder /Arduino1.0/libraries/, then open the Arduino IDE 1.0 and upload the examples MP3Shield-Library-Demo.
