internal switches are always open when the encoder is at rest, while a
level-type encoder will have one or both switches closed in some
rotational positions. If your encoder is a level-type, solder a 100kΩ
resistor from pin 28 of IC1 to GND to enable correct operation.

• added option to select both MP3 and .ogg (Ogg Vorbis) files to be

V1.2:
• fixed a problem where the player would lock up if any music was

• added an option to select what number file to record to (the old
incremental option can be selected by pressing 'A' on the keypad)
• recording starts from 00 instead of 01
V1.3:
• fixed the recording function only writing half the required data.
Added an experimental version that lets you enter the entire filename
using the keypad when selecting a tracknum to play. It uses a rotating
keypad like a mobile phone, and should match up with the characters
on the keypad itself. Controls are listed under the function name
createName(). It's stable though, just wanted to provide the older and
