SparkFun Music Instrument Shield i don't find a library to play an mp3

[Ricardo_Aranguena]

Hey guys. I just bought a SparkFun Music Instrument Shield (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10587) and I already managed to make it sound via midi and their on board sounds.

I wanted to ask if it’s possible to send an mp3 from an extra sd card and make it sound trough that shield? i know there is this other model (https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/mp … -guide-v15) specifically for that but since I runed out of time to present a project i just bought the music instrument shield because they have the same chip (VS1053).

The question is, is there any example on how to make that work ? or is it possible at all with the shield that i have?

I would say that it is possible. The MP3 Player Shield primarily uses a chip to interact with the SD card. As long as you’re able to read and translate to what’s needed for MIDI it should be possible to make this change. Unfortunately, we don’t have direct code to handle this change.

A google search popped up [this and it could help.

I hope this helps point you in the right direction.](spi - Writing "theremin" outputs to a MIDI file on an SD card - Arduino Stack Exchange)
