+For running this demo properly, please make sure **LV_MEM_SIZE** is at least **38KB** (and **48KB** is recommended):
+
+```c
+#define LV_MEME_SIZE    (38ul * 1024ul)
+```

 ### Music player
 The music player demo shows what kind of modern, smartphone-like user interfaces can be created on LVGL. It works the best with display with 480x272 or 272x480 resolution.
