[sdiy] that darned record module i keep obsessing about

An MP3 player would still have to store the file somewhere in order to play it back. Whether SD card or Flash, there's still a file system with audio files. By the time you get an MP3 player working, you might as well do WAV playback.

But I think Henry's original idea was to capture modular moments by allowing you to record when you hear something interesting going on. An MP3 player would be a different tool than that.
