Pardon the general question, but I'm wanting to add some relatively high quality sound files (wav files, for example) to a clock I've created. At present I'm using a PIC16F628A, but will need to migrate that to something with more I/Os. I'd like to be able to access specific sound files for a given time. One option I've looked at is a VP1000A voice chip from eletech.com with some external EPROM (http://www.eletech.com/Products/QuikVoice_Chips/VP1000A/vp1000a.pdf).
My question is twofold. Is there a preferred PIC for this sort of thing (I need 18 pins without the sound feature)? What would be the simplest hardware solution that would yield decent sound quality (not hi-fi or anything, but better than a phone)?
Thanks for any ideas,
Jeff
