Arduino Project: MP3 player using Arduino and DFPlayer mini MP3 player module from banggood.com

Building an MP3 player with Arduino is extremely easy. We use the DFPlayer mini in order to build a simple MP3 player.

The MP3 player has 3 buttons, in order to Play/Pause, to load the next song, and one in order to load the previous song. In this video, we are using an Arduino Uno, but you can use any Arduino board you like.

I just ordered one of those modules. I am going to covert an old phone into a music player. When you dial a particular number, it will play an assigned song.

Today I had a chance to review carefully this video once more. All is well. Again thank you Nick. When the module is playing its light is red.. i used 16g SD as not to expect module to read more.I used a small board(400). Good luck guys, just pay attention to pin numbers and connect to any portable spkr via 3.5 jack for example. Directional 3 buttons are great also and work fine.

FIRST video ive watched where every single step and part was totaly understandable for a newbie like me! Thank you! The first soundfile sounded a little bit crappy and noisy! Was the original music like that or? Thanks

Great tutorial! Is it possible to put an LCD (1602 or 2004) for showing the name of the song and other information of the mp3 file? Thank!

Hi, You're great. I will use this module by a car mp3 player. Can name of songs be written on a lcd module by this module? Do you know?

[fixins]

Couldn't get my DF Player to do a darn thing before I watched this. Works great now. Thanks for a great video.

Really enjoy these tutorials. The tutorial is clear, & easy to follow. Thanks for sharing.

dude that's an exxelent video! short, not confusing and with the code. thank you.

but please, stop saying "in my opinion" when it's not needed (not only for you, for everyone)
this is a really interesting device, and it's a fact.

[karimismail]

Got the player. It is sounding very well. Only 1 issue I encountered with the buttons. Need to check again carefully. Again, thank you Nick.

Thank u!!! This video helped me out a lot because I’m doing a school project.

I dont know why... but for me, the RX pin was the 3rd pin and the TX was the 2nd pin. I initially set them up following your tutorial and it wouldn't play anything. I saw a post somewhere else that stated sometimes they can be backwards.... I switched them and it instantly started working.

I'm going to use this in my school project! A question about the 3.5mm jack. How many wires are there in a sound cable? Is there a ground wire along with the two sound wires?

[miguelsilva]

Hi! I really liked your project, it is clean and simple, and very well explained.

[yusufcali]

Nick, Thank you very much sir! May you be happy and healthy for a long long long time :) Sharing knowledge is sharing love! :)

If the module required 3.3 v why can't we use the 3.3v pin on arduino?

[jaykeen]

Thanks for another simple and informative video. I really appreciate your work.

That gives an Idea for an MP3 player for in my pickup. Simple to operate. Turn it on and let it play. I already have a small amplifier installed and have been using my phone to play music. Thank You.

[VANNESTE]

great, this is my firts project ! and thanks to you, I have sound !!!
Houston, we have a sound !!!
thanks

[MyWeekendChannel]

Cool! Thanks a lot! Liked and subscribed!
P.S.: When connect DFPlayer to external amplifier (like X-mini), you better use line output instead speaker output. Line outputs are Pin 4 and 5 - DAC R and DAC L.

I have brought life into a dead pinball machine using two Arduino boards. Now I plan to add music and sound effects to it, hoping to be able to use one or two DFPlayer Mini for that task.
