How do I Make a Gameboy Color Into a Media Player?

Back in 2000, a device called the SongPro hit the market for GameBoy owners. The SongPro allows you to play MP3s and view photos on your GameBoy or GameBoy Color hand-held gaming system. If you're looking to add this kind of functionality to your GameBoy Color, you'll likely need to track one of these down on eBay or at a used game store. After that, though, using the SongPro involves just a few steps.
