A few things -
Built the wave shield and attempted to get the example sketch up and running. Tweaked the arduino RAM as suggested. Added the library. Checked the formatting (was MS DOS (fat16)) on the SD card. Converted an mp3 using itunes. When I uploaded the sketch I received the "Couldn't open filesys" message. I then tried reformatting the card as I thought it would be a good idea to start over from scratch.
So questions -
- on mac os x, is there an easy way to format a 1gb sd card as FAT16? Using disk utility it seems to automatically choose FAT32.
- what is the cause of the "Couldn't open filesys" message?
Thanks in advance

properly formatted
I got the card properly formatted (FAT16, checked several times) using windows...still same issue - couldn't open filesys
From reading the forums it seems like others have had problems with specific cards (1gb?), I guess I will pick up standard SD card tomorrow and try it out. Is there any specific card that anyone can recommend?
Thanks
