I bought this for my son's costume. He went as Speaker Man from Skibidi Toilet (I know...I was at a loss for words too...). I actually found Speaker Man's costume here on desertcart. My son wanted it to blast Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears. Since I have not had a boombox since the '90s, I had to figure something else out 😄 I searched up mini speakers to play music and this is one of the ones that popped up. Of course I read the reviews, just like you are now. Many people complained about it being difficult. It was not!! The hardest part was buying the song and clipping it down to around 3 minutes to be able to upload onto this circuit. I will explain that part down below. After I had the song cut down to 3 minutes, I uploaded it and bam!!! The song played on the circuit and speaker. I bought the one with a button because I wanted my son to be able to turn it off and on with a button since he was wearing it at school. It was incredibly loud! My son, who is 9, easily spotted the switch for volume. We turned it down and it was perfect. Okay...for the tech stuff. By the way, I would not consider myself a techie of any sort. I get tech stuff, sometimes, and it works, sometimes 😁 I am an inventor and author, so the tech stuff is just to get me by. I bought the song off of iTunes because it was the easiest. You do have to have an Apple account. I have an iPad that I rarely use, so I created an account years ago. I used my PC to buy the song in iTunes. Then, I clicked the 3 dots to the right of the song and it showed details. Click on Album Info. Click Options. Go to STOP and put in the time that you want the song to end. I used 3 minutes because that was the most amount of time of that song to put onto the circuit. Click OK. Download your song. When you get to your D drive, delete the song that is already downloaded. Upload your new song and it should be super quick. Good luck! Review: Well made and fun to play with. - The quality of this little speaker is surprising. The default music on the device sounds really amazing and was probably optimized for that effect. It was easy for me to reprogram the audio file with my own. I bought three of these to play with. I reconnected the speaker output to an eight ohm bookshelf speaker in cabinet. This little guy was able to drive this speaker and make things much louder for my application. I'm very happy with my purchase. ## Features - 【Please Note】For optimal performance, we recommend using a Windows computer.

The button serves to apply continuity between the two wires. When pressing the button, it is like touching the two wires together which activates or stops the device. When replacing the button you will want to use one that acts as a momentary switch (connects the two wires only while button is depressed). Hope this helps. **Q: How many seconds of recording does this hold average.....more that 120 seconds??** A: It will depend on things like the sampling rate of your recording. At a low sampling rate (you really don't need higher quality, given the speaker) you could probably fit as many as 6-8 average songs. At higher quality sampling rates, maybe only 2. **Q: How do I get rid of previous recording? I delete and replace but it still plays one after the other.** A: I had to not only delete the old recording but then empty the trash can of the computer. It seems deleting doesn't actually delete it but just marks the space as open for rewriting new data. **Q: I connect the board to my computer, note a green light, and push the button. No sound. Unit is 'on'. Whats up?** A: Here's what's up: The micro USB port kicks the board into storage mode, meaning when it's plugged in via micro usb it only functions as a storage device. So in order to use the device you'll need to wire it to a 5v power source, or a 3.7v rechargeable battery. The seller states the micro USB port does charge the 3.7v battery, so no need for a break away connection. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Coolest Little Speaker!! *by C***A on November 1, 2023* I am seriously so impressed with this tiny little circuit and speaker!

Recommended *by D***R on November 17, 2020* I got the ICStation Recordable Sound Module (8MB) for a small project. I was asked to make a small box with a button that triggers a sound, and that led me to this item. The ICStation board is kind of an all-in-one solution, right? Well, the board arrived without any issues. The LIR2032 batteries arrived with some juice already in them. I hooked the board to a Win10 PC, and copied in my file (and deleted the one that it shipped with). To use the board, you slide the power switch to "on" and press the button. There's a small surface-mounted volume slider. The included speaker is not great... it's about on par with the transducers that they put in greeting cards. For my project, I got rid of the momentary switch and the speaker, replacing it with a 3" full-range unit (pictured). I decided to remote the micro-USB too, using a panel mount port that's connected to a cable. The only part that's tougher to remote is the power slider switch. The power switch is surface-mounted, so I just left the switch in place (in the OFF position) and soldered in leads for another, non-momentary switch. Overall, that results in something that sounds a lot better, and is easier to mount permanently inside an enclosure. Unfortunately, the PCB only has two small holes for mounting, but they aren't something you can use standoffs with. As far as the core board goes, it's pretty amazing what you get for about $15. The batteries alone seem like something that you'd spend a few bucks on. Out of the box, the board does what it says it will. Put a better speaker on it, and you will have something that sounds decent, too. As far as the other stuff I did, with the USB relocation and other switches, it's just good for you to know that it can be done.
