SOLVED! SD returning 0

This build is for a "Haunted Tree" for Halloween this year. I have a motion to trigger an effect and play a sound with that effect. Most of my effects are working well enough however I can not get the sound to play. I believe the issue is with the SD card not being initialized. I have posted a thread in the "Audio" section but not getting much help. The MP3 shield I am using; (http://www.geeetech.com/wiki/index.php/Arduino_MP3_shield_board_with_TF_card )
My SRAM is returning "698" . Does that mean I am out of memory to run the SD?
I have used the demo sketches for the MP3 and they play fine. They are far too complex for me to tear them apart at this time to make them work for my use.
Any thoughts or input is greatly appreciated!

Solution to this problem:
in sd.begin(); I had left out SD_SEL, SPI_HALF_SPEED
After including that they MP3 is working!
