Any people fluent in electronic switch components?

Well i am thinking of dabbling in this project of mine. I bought a cheap mp3 player powered by a AA battery. On the inside it has some tactile switches that i plan to solder some wires to the points and that leading to push buttons since i plan to put this in a housing. But what switches would i use? SPST? SPDT?

Probably single pole momentary.....as they are used to control things like play/pause, FF, REW etc.....just my 2 cents

Most likely SPST (single pole single throw - basically just a single pair of contacts that short across when you press the switch). If you will look closely at the tactile switches on the board see if there are just 2 contacts on the switch or 2 solder pads where the switch connects. If so its a SPST. If there are 4 contacts for the one switch, which may be a possibility, then thats a douple pole single throw (DPST). The throw is how many switch positions are possible. For example, if a switch can only move one of two positions (up or down) then its a single throw. If a switch has 3 positions (like up, down, or center) then its a double throw switch and will have 3 contacts for a single pole double throw, or six contacts for a double pole double throw. Hope this helps!
