Does anyone know a good mp3 player that can be controlled from arduino?
I am working on a project where I need 50 mp3 players in different objects that can be triggered by a corresponding arduino. They can be small, as they only need to hold ~3 min of audio. I am aware of the yampp and the makezine daisy kits, but don't want to have to assemble 50 kits.
Do you know of anything that is off-the-shelf that could work in a situation like this? I'd like to keep the price point under $100 per player.
it is a mp3 player where the tracks are stored on a sd card, it is easy to control via tx/rx from the arduino,
they sale this little guy from some where in sweden

Just as a matter of curiousity, does it actually have to be an MP3 player or could it just be a generic audio player? (I'm just thinking 3 minutes of audio might be able to fit in a less complex--and less expensive--audio playback module.)
Thanks for all the suggestions -- been reading up on SPI as the control protocol...

to Phil: no, it doesn't have to be an mp3 player. Not knowing better, I had thought that that would be the simplest/cheapest. What did you have in mind?

Im sorry, but, this seams silly, it sounds like you are going to make a type of fun hpouse with sounds trigerds by a arduino or somthing, if this is the case, then this is not the best solution, What are you trying to do, i want to see if we can help make a better solution then a bunch of media players

Ok, fair enough. I am planning a bunch of units that each have a set of simple sensors inside, light, PIR, etc with a corresponding arduino. When the PIR is tripped, based upon the input from the other sensors, I want the arduino to trigger playback of one of a set of six to eight 20-30 sec sound recordings. (it is essential for the idea that it be sound recordings, not bit-banging pitches, or other "synthetic" sound)
I thought that the best way to do this would be to control a media player via RS232 or other serial control protocol... But I am totally open to suggestions. I don't have tons of experience doing low-level prototyping, but I am willing to learn if there is some resource to work from.
