This MP3 sound module is a clone of the JQ6500, you simply connect it to your PC and format it which then allows you to upload the MP3 files you want in order, these do not need the JQ6500 software to use, they will not work with the software but there is alternative software out there but we dont use it when you can simply format and connect to PC, it is an ideal alternative to the SONOS QSB's for programming power on/off and eject sounds to the XBOX 360, it is a standalone device and has more capacitiy to accept longer and higher quality sound MP3 sound files over programming directly to the consoles audio circuit for those sound action features, 16MB in fact. Comes with a button speaker to replace the inferior barrel speaker on the console or for use with the module and also 2 x 8 pin single row pin headers (unsoldered).
The HW896 MP3 module is a simple module that can play typical stereo or mono MP3 files. The controlling of this module can be done through buttons or a serial communication protocol.
In the first mode, the module is connected to a microcontroller and in the second mode, the module is controlled through switches. The modules include an onboard 2 MegaByte or 16Mbit Flash memory. Using Windows software to connect to the device via USB, MP3 files can be uploaded directly to your device. If you require fewer bitrate MP3s, then this is the best option.

Pin K4 is a Playback of Audio 4
Pin K5 is a Playback of Audio 5
Pin SGND is a Ground
Pin ADKEY is an AD port
Pin BUSY is a Play Indicator
Pin RX UART is a serial data input
Pin TX UART is a serial data output
Pin GND is called Ground
Pin VCC 5V is used for power supply
Pin ADC_R is an Amplifier or Headphones (Right Channel)
ADC_L Pin is Amplifier or Headphones (Left Channel)
SPK- pin is a negative terminal of the speaker
SPK+ pin is a positive terminal of the speaker
Control Methods
The mp3 module can be controlled in five methods, based on the particular application; the suitable method can be selected.
Using push buttons, manual controlling can be done toward the ground like the K*, PL/PAUSE, NXT/PRV, SRC pins
Manual control with the help of resistors and buttons toward the signal the action requested is throughout the ADKEY pin
Limited control through infrared and the device can recognize using remote control codes, mostly to play the five hot-key files
Complete controlling can be done through an Arduino Library for the module. So this will give you control through some additional features like looping options, equalizer modes, direct access to several files over the SD Card, names of songs, etc.
The complete controlling can be possible through a protocol like serial communication on TX/RX
