A MP3 decoder for ARM-family microprocessors.

An evolution of the homebrew MP3 player - if you are interested in building your own, here is all you need.

Unlike old-school mechanical alarm clocks that you have to set manually, this Internet-connected alarm clock provides three primary features: automatic time setting on power-up, streaming MP3 music, and remote management.

For around $30 in parts and a good amount of patience, you can have a completely open source and hackable mp3 player ready to go. It can be modified to accept serial commands, be embedded in an art project, used as the voice of your next smart talking robo-sidekick, or filled with music and used as is. Put in whatever size card you want, up to the theoretical limit of the MMC format.

The Daisy is a multipurpose sound player for embedded applications. It can be used as a standalone personal music player,as the sound for an art project, in a kiosk, as a museum tour guide, in a toy, or anywhere that high quality embedded audio is desired. It uses MMC or SD flash memory cards so storage size is unlimited. It has several interface modes for either human or machine control.

The Rundfunker is a tabletop mp3 player that scans the WLAN for local audio sources and is able to play shared audio-files.

The MP3 player does not have any buttons nor dials that shown in right photo and it has an acceleration sensor instead of the mechanical switches. Therefore all playback commands to the player are given in defined motions, such as inclination, tilt and shock. The player detects the motion with the built-in acceleration sensor and recognize it as a playback control command. As the result, it came to not seem an audio player in appearance.

Cheap and excellent MP3 player based on VS1002 MP3 decoder, PIC18F45x microcontroller and LCD display from Nokia 3310 cell phone.

A great thing: software-based MP3 decoder for dsPICs, published under GPL.

If you’re looking for a build-it-yourself, standalone, USB harddrive based MP3 player, this may be of interest to you.
