HOW TO - Make a TRAXMOD - SD card MOD player

Traxmod-Arm
Here's a DIY MOD player you can build (MOD is sorta like a MP3, popular in the 80's with Amiga computers) - "TRAXMOD is a small digital audio player using the Philips LPC2103 ARM7TDMI-S high speed microcontroller chip (prior versions were based on Microchip dsPIC DSPs). Currently, the ARM port can play raw wave audio streaming off of a FAT formatted MMC/SD Card at 44100Hz, 10-bits, stereo. It is also beginning to play small 4 channel MOD files. The hardware for TRAXMOD/ARM can be built using a BBMICRO Protoboard and a few additional low cost components. " - Link.

MOD has far more in common with MIDI than it does with MP3. It's strictly a synth thing. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOD_%28file_format%29 for more information.
