Hi
I'm trying to write a program using a UNO and a RC522 RFID reader. The aim is simple: read rfid tag then play the audio file with associated with that tag.
I've got a folder on my mac with all the audio files in WAV. format and want the Arduino to find the files and play the file that the tags are linked to.
How do I get my Arduino to play files on my mac?

Thats like asking 'How do I get my car to drive up a cliff' - Arduino is a microcontroller, it can send serial data, you need to write a program on the MAC to read this and then play the audio.
IS there not a simpler way to get my Arduino to communicate with a macbook? so if i had an SD card module and the files on an sd card would this be a simpler setup?

No.

Well, you would then have to play the file from the SD card on the Arduino, so that means at least an external D/A chip at least if you want passable quality. If you have just an 8 bit wave sample you can play that directly but it would be telephone quality.
