  Some have done it with the ISD4004. I used an ISD25120 older 2 minute voice chip too.

  I looked at that but the one you made was for a discontinued product. That is why I am looking at the new version. I am new at the BS2 and that page was confusing are their any other ideas?

  I haven't looked specifically at the ISD4004 but only assumed since this was a recent post and that ISD4004 is higher than the ISD4003 that you stated you wanted to work with, it would be similar and newer design to work with. The ISD25120 that I designed with a few years old but still can be purchased reasonably.
  
  Was this for a new design where you needed large quantities or just 1-2 units? If the secondary is true then any ISD chip can be used for your design.

  I just need to be able to play 2 sounds 30 seconds each.

  Josh -
  
  You haven't clearly indicated what it is that you're trying to do, but there are two native PBASIC commands which may be of some help if you're looking for simple sounds. One is the FREQOUT command, and the other is the SOUND command. Both are well explained in the PBASIC Reference Manual, and the PBASIC Help File as well.

  I am using the BS2 and I wanted to know how to interface with the ISD4003 chip from Winbond Electronics. I have wanted to make a sound file play and this is my chance.

  If you're interested in making a a sound play vs. interested in hooking up the BSII to a specific ISD/Winbond chip, there are a number of pre-made alternatives. Here's a quick list of sound playback devices that are well suited to connect to a Basic Stamp:

  • AP-8 from EFX-TEK
  • The uMP3 from Rogue Robotics
  • the Cowlacious Scary Terry chipcorder kit
  • The Make Magazine Daisy mp3 player
  • The FTDI Vmusic module.

  I spent a lot of time playing with the uMP3 unit and made some BSII/uMP3 demos available for download here.
  
  Hope this helps.
