    It’s a nice shield, but comes with hardly any documentation and it’s absolutely not clear with what Arduino boards this shields work. The forum is filled with similar comments and Seeedstudio only responds to take a look at the wiki. Which is outdated. Nice shield, but not recommended at this point.

    Agree with Frank Meeuwsen. Made mine play MP3, (one song only, over and over)
    Maybe you can hack away until it works, but you’ll have to get lucky!
