Atmel Controller and Breakout Board For VS1002 MP3/SD Module

Hi Guys!

SparkFun has the following product available:

Breakout Board for VS1002 MP3/SD Module

sku: BOB-07832

It says you can connect to it via the UEXT connector and it becomes a SLAVE MP3 decoder. My host controller will most likely be an ATmega48 chip. In slave mode it appears to just be an MP3 decoder. I wanted to know if anyone has used it and knows if you can control that board further? Specifically, I want to know if my host controller can tell the BOB to play a specific MP3 file from it’s SD card? Or is does it become a strict decoder and I have to stream the MP3 file to it?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thank-you,

Mark
