    Nice job!!! I was waiting for someone to get it working on the C3:) I was just curious as to what WAV converter software you are using? All of the ones I downloaded doesn't have the sample rate go low enough or other problems. Can you actually listen to whole songs?

    Hi Raven,

    I use this MP3 to WAV converter software.

    http://mthreedev.com/download.html

    It just works! No need to adjust the bit rates.
    Of course it can play the whole song, try it out yourself.

    I am glad it works.
    How many songs you manage to put on your uSD card?
    Can you help improve the Play Visual Indicators, maybe like Equalizer Bars or Rotating Cubes?

    I only put a few songs on it so far, but i intend to be using this a lot more in the future. I am working on several interesting programs for my new OS(Including a basic word processor, calculator, games and a few other things) and would you mind if i used some of your program for my own version?

    I wont mind, I also copied from others extensively.

    Just to let everybody know that if you have a slower 2GB SD card and hear distortions in the music,
    the buffSize constant in c3wavplay16stereo.spin needs to be doubled to 200.
    This change will be made in the next version.

    I tried making the buffer bigger and it did improve the audio quality slightly. Thanks for the tip:)
