As the original SFE shield does not have an audio input this library does not yet have this feature. However, Miguel Moreto’s fork https://github.com/miguelmoreto/Sparkfun-MP3-Player-Shield-Arduino-Library added a feature for recording OGG. Also you can use AdaFruit’s library which as a such. Until we integrate recording into this library’s root fork.
I tried and tried to no avail. I can get a pretty bad recording using the adafruit demo – it actually has a heartbeat sound to it. I think I have the wrong mic with the wrong capacitor that may be causing oscillation.
I can play back with this library. I can’t record. I see a comment in the library that calls for a .img to be uploaded so I copied that code from adafruit and I can get this library to open the recording, but then it goes nowhere.
Any help as to what I’m doing wrong would be appreciated.
