This was way below the quality I wanted which is why I did the project with a dsPIC33FJ64GP802. And of course with a cheap-as-chips many-GB SD card you can have untold files and hours and hours of playback On a related note - I've seen that several projects in Silicon Chip lately have been using a PIC32 with a WM8731 CODEC IC for real-time audio conversions Joe ----- No virus found in this message.
