cowjam:
Are you using the geeetech mp3 shield?I'm playing with one now and needed a bit of help so headed here (but I got it playing sound).
I used adafruit's code instead of the geeetech stuff. You can download the libraries here: Getting Started - VS1053 Software | Adafruit VS1053 MP3/AAC/Ogg/MIDI/WAV Codec Breakout Tutorial | Adafruit Learning System
Copy the libraries into the libraries file of your arduino installation folder.
In the arduino program go to Examples and look for 'Adafruit VS1053 Library' and open 'player simple'.
In the sketch you'll need to change the pins to match your shield. If it's the geeetech one then set the 'breakout_reset' to 8, breakout_CS to 6, breakout_DCS to 7, CARDCS to 9 and DREQ to 2.
It requires some MP3s on the shield called track001.mp3 and track002.mp3.
You should be able to use this as a base, and work up from here to get it to trigger.
hey cowjam,
i was wondering whether you could elaborate a bit on the content spit out by the serial monitor if I just change pins as you described. It seems to be working as in playing the file once but i have problems understanding its logic:

i only want to set up a Mp3 trigger via capacitive touch and this shield is just challenging me.
thanks in advance
