i wanna make an mp3 player with arm or processor.....help with program

hello......
i wanna make an mp3 player of my own with an arm chip or a protessot...is it possible only with 8 KB memory? or do i need bigger memory?? and what kind of programs (what functions) sud i learn?? pls help with ideas...programs..link...all u do have.....
thanx

  • 8kB of code space is tiny.

    You need to store the sound somewhere. If in the code space, you waste code space. An ARM chip with 8kB code space normally don't have any external memory interface unless the 8kB was intended for a boot loader. So you are likely to need to use SPI or similar for an external sound memory. The code to access that memory consumes code space. Then you have the decoding of the MP3 data - header data to know sampling rate, mono/stereo etc and the decompression of the actual sound stream.

    I would recommend that you either get a much larger chip, or get a dedicated MP3 chip that just requires you to feed the sound data to it.

  • What experience do you have in embedded microcontroller development?

    An MP3 player is quite an advanced project - I think you have rather a long way to go before tackling this...?
