Basically, if you plug an entirely separate new computer into your Z80-based computer, you can play MP3s on your Z80-based computer.

So you make your computer into one of those mp3 playing thumbdrives then...

( If I remember right, some of them are basically Z80 cpu with MP3 decoding DSP built it. )

Yes, those were called S1 players. You could build your own custom firmware for them:

I want a z80 with a nanogpu, for glorious, flicker free, 8bit UI compositing.
Thank you so much !
