VMUSIC Module – easily add USB Flash Drive interface
VMUSIC is a product that not only lets you add USB Flash drive interfacing to your product but allows you to play back MP3 and other popular digital music formats direct from a USB Flash drive. Extensions to the VDAP command set allow you to play a selected file as well as control the volume, balance, etc. of the sound channel and monitor the status of the file being played. VMUSIC is ideal for adding MP3 playback from USB drive capability to home entertainment and in-car audio systems, as well as other appliances requiring audio playback capability from USB Flash drives.
Vmusic features include :
- One USB “A” socket to connect to USB Flash drive
- Audio line-out connector for audio playback
- Stereo 3.5mm headphone jack socket and audio line-out connector for audio playback
- Single 5V supply input
- Program or update firmware via USB Flash disk or via UART interface

I would not buy the Vmusic module. Many students, including me, at SPSU in Atlanta Georgia used this module for the Digital III class.
The documentation was horrible, and the tech support would take days to get back with you. They had no clue how their own product worked. We would ask them questions about their documentation that were simple; it took days to get a response.
After weeks of testing we finaly got the component to work, but it was wasted time due to their documentation being incorrect. We had to figure out how this product worked on our own using a frequency counter.
Very unprofessional documentation, lack of flow charting their own work. The only useful thing they had was an example in Pic code, but if you do not know Pic and you’re software runs on a different language, you’re not helped.
Maybe they’ve changed by now and gotten better. This was not the case in Summer of 2007. I would highly advise not using this product.
