Questions

What parts does the MP3 use?

68 parts, built around the AK4493SEQ, OPA1622IDRCR, TPS63000DRCR and TPS7A2033PDBVR-TP. 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 MP3 KiCad files?

From the william-richards1/MP3player repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/MP3/MP3.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/MP3/MP3.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MP3 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask william-richards1 before reusing the design.
