I know it wont be done with one pic, but it is fun to se what can be =
done.
(It doesn't have to be mp3 either.  One could make something simpler =
based on the code...)

Tanx for the url.
I'll take a look at the code.  The reason I want to make the player with =
one (to-three or whatever) PICs is very simple:  I like the challenge.   =
(Give me a wall and enough running room, and I'll bash my head in to it =
untill it gives.  Head or wall :-)

To end up making something far off MP3 quality that can handle a =
standard lo bitrate mp3 file would be fun too :-)
