No.1646
Hey there, I apologize if this isn't the best board for this question, but I need some technical advice.
I'm building this chest. It's nearly done, and it's supposed to play a sound effect when you open the lid. However, I'm not knowledgeable about making circuits at all, and the guy whose design I'm heavily borrowing from suggests soldering an old MP3 player to an SPDT switch. But I really feel like an MP3 player is a terrible, terrible idea.
Is there another easy to use component I can use instead of an MP3 player? Something I can load a short sound file onto with decent audio quality and still wire it up to the inside of this chest? Thanks in advance.

you can find in toy shops a mechanism to trigger when opens.
MP3 would be hard (or more expensive) but in same shops can buy musical xmas cards, those sounds with MIDI based recorded on a very small and cheap micro card, and including speaker and battery. For MP3 you will have to sacrifice an MP3 player conect the mp3 to the trigger and change the circuit to skip menu and be always "connected" waiting to open the box. That or a music box (cheap)...or usb radio (more enpensive.
