Questions

What parts does the Mp3Pal use?

35 parts, built around the 74HC153D and 74HC238D. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Mp3Pal KiCad files?

From the mkrueger/Mp3Pal repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB_Design/Mp3Pal.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB_Design/Mp3Pal.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Mp3Pal design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the Apache-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
