Barebones MP3 Player

 

Part B. Connect And Test Your Decoder

 

Describe the tone pattern you hear (i.e., high or low, how long, etc.).

 

If i am not mistaken the sounds are High, medium and low in a loop. Actually, if you listen to it by yourself in a dark room for about a minute it gets kind of creepy.

Part C. Play Some Music!

 

Tell a member of the teaching team what your song is (or better yet, play it for us).

 

Absolutely Cuckoo by Magnetic Fields 

✓

Does this code play all the songs in all the directories of the SD card? If not, which songs does it play? How does it keep from playing the text file?

 

Yes, it plays all the songs (in our case 4) and it knows not to play the txt file because the buffered reader checks the format of the file and makes sure it is an audio file such as an .mp3 or .wav

✓

Change the Song (or Simple_MP3_V2) program to save the current volume setting in your EEPROM, then fetch and set that value during initialization. Note that the first max_num_songs * max_name_len (in this case, 520) bytes of the EEPROM are used to store file names, so don't overwrite those.
