So my next question would be; would the Vinculum solution that jkonstan mentioned make such a project any easier? If so what would this solution do to the overall cost of the minimig?
Yes, the Vinculum would make things easier. You can buy an assembled board from them for a reasonable price. They even have one with a MP3 decoder chip for playing music. So all you'd need to do is make a cable..... oh yeah.... and write the software. ;-)
Personally, I'm beginning to more into the "USB is pointless" camp. It would be cheaper to just use the SD cards... after all to use a minimig you'll need to put an SD card interface in your PC....
