Playing MP3 files from flash

[AlaaM]

Hi,

I want to play MP3 files that are located in an external flash.

Do I need to load the files to RAM for playing them, or can I play them directly from flash?

I'm asking because I might not have enough RAM for loading the whole file all at once.

Thanks in advance

The MP3 format contains packets of data, the decoder only requires on at a time. Data can be in RAM, or readable flash in the memory address space. You could also read the packets from a microSD card to RAM.​
