MP3 Jukebox Module

Transform any audio system with this versatile MP3 Jukebox Module. A simple yet powerful electronics project, this module allows you to play MP3 files directly from a USB memory stick or SD card, enabling you to build your own custom jukebox or effortlessly add MP3 playback functionality to domestic hi-fi systems or car audio setups.

The module delivers high-quality audio, supporting variable bit rate file formats including 128kb/s, 192kb/s, 256kb/s, and 320kb/s. It features a stereo line-level output (500mV/47kΩ) for clear, crisp sound integration. User control is made simple with dedicated outputs for connecting external push buttons for Play/Pause, Previous, and Next track functions, complemented by an LED indicator to show the playback status.

Designed for convenience and continuous operation, playback automatically starts when power is applied and will loop through all stored tracks seamlessly. The compact dimensions make it easy to integrate into a wide variety of projects and enclosures. It is compatible with both 5V DC and 9-12V DC power supplies, drawing a maximum of 50mA, offering flexibility for different applications from desktop projects to in-car installations.

For automotive use with a 12V supply, simply add a 68Ω/1W resistor in series with the positive power connection to ensure reliable operation and avoid excess power dissipation. This module is the perfect core component for hobbyists, makers, and anyone looking to create a personalised, offline music player.
