I am wondering if I can upload data from the pc to the sd using the IDE... on the board that I have, i'm not sure where to connect the pin... maybe I can hack this somehow?
You need a USB microSD adapter (amazon sellers, < $10). With that you format the microSD and you can then transfer data to/from it, with the PC as you would a thumbdrive (etc.)
PE - Many PC's have such a facility built in.
This whole thing is going in a artpiece. I would like to plug in my usb and edit playlist, messages, codes etc without opening the whole thing up to access a micro sd...
