Music Maker MP3 Sheild
I purchased the Music Maker MP3 Sheild and a new Uno to go with it . I followed the tutorial to assemble the unit, installed the Adafruit_VS1053 library, and loaded the first sample program "player_simple". Next I modified the code to use the shield instead of the breakout board as shown in the tutorial. I placed three small mp3 files on the micro sd card and named them "track001.mp3 to track003.mp3 as shown in Photo 1. I ran the program and opened the serial monitor and got the message shown in photo 2 but no sound. Only a short burst of static. Next I loaded the program "player_interrupts". Once again, I modified the code to use the sheild. I ran the program and opened the serial monitor to see the message shown in photo 3. I have used two different Unos and two different micro sd card but still get the same result as in photo 3. Could this unit be defective? Order # 996795-1004580146. Purchased Jan 23 2016.

Try entering the names in capital letters. The FAT filesystem is pretty limited, and I don't think it supports case-sensitive names.

Good call on the file names Mike. Changing the case didn't work but I removed the ".mp3" from the end of the file names and that did it.
