>I know Thomas and maybe others have been interested in

>don't require a whole lot of effort to use.  I came across one today 
>from FTDI, which is known for their USB-to-serial converters: 
>http://www.vinculum.com/prd_vmusic1.html 
>http://www.vinculum.com/documents/datasheets/DS_VMUSIC1.pdf It gets 
>the MP3 data from a USB memory key plugged in to the board. It is 
>available now from MOUSER for $41 qty. 1:

>I didn't get too far into their data sheets but it comes with 
>firmware that lets you send it short ASCII mnemonic commands over a 
>UART or SPI port to control the MP3 player. --Tim
