Hi all,
I am taking a course now that has emphasis on the 8051 micro controller. We did a project using the Phillips 89LPC925FN micro(8051 with some added features. So i have bought it already and have the set up to flash it)
heres the link to its info:

Anyways, I was thinking that it would be cool to make an MP3 player with it using a USB jump drive for the MP3 storage. Has anyone here done a project like this before? The project is probably beyond my skill level, but Ill give it a shot. But any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
Yeti

PS. Is it possible to make an MP3 player with this chip, or would I have to get a better one?

I don't think any of the 8051 family micro is capable of mp3 decoding, even the fastest one. The way to go, imho, would be to get a dedicated mp3 decoder chip to do the task, which you could control with the 8051.
