I have been using this code without any problems, fist with UNO, and now with Mega 2560.
(According to the instructions in the manual, I modified the music maker shield to make it compatible with Mega.)
But since this morning I am getting this message:
Adafruit VS1053 Simple Test
Couldn't find VS1053, do you have the right pins defined?
I attach the code and 2 pics of the shield.

Re: music maker - Couldn't find VS1053
As a quick check - if you go back to using the UNO, does it work OK?

Re: music maker - Couldn't find VS1053
I had to modify the shield to make it compatible with Mega, so I cannot desolder these changes or the 6-pin socket.

Re: music maker - Couldn't find VS1053
Do you have the correct line uncommented for using the shield in the example sketch:

Re: music maker - Couldn't find VS1053
I did send the code in the first post. Here is again.
This code, and also much larger routines including this one, did work without any problem with both Uno and Mega.
Until it stopped working with this message.

Re: music maker - Couldn't find VS1053
Oops. Sorry. Totally missed that in the first post.
That looks fine. It worked and then it didn't - can you correlate that to anything? What was the last thing you were doing before it stopped responding.
Since it's failing in the initialization, it's acting like it can't see or talk to the board. Maybe there's a solder issue on the ICSP header. Can you post another photo that's more close up show the solder there.

I suspected the same thing. I went with a sharp knives between every pair of adjacent pins and I could not feel any short.

Re: music maker - Couldn't find VS1053
It looks like maybe there's a combination of too much solder + cold soldering going on for some of the pins:

If there is no other correlation for what happen to go from working to non-working, I'd suspect the soldering. If you have a multimeter, you can use that to check for any shorts due to solder bridges. You can also try reflowing the existing to soldering to see if you can get it wetted out a little more.
