Computer help forum: how to put music onto sd memory card for dsi

its a new card so do i need to format it as its not coming up on my computer help

right ive managed to format the card and can put music on there now but its for the new dsi and it wants the format in aac in music hope you can help thanks

My kids all have mp3 players and psp's. When I tried to put the mp3 format onto the DSi, it wouldn't recognize it. It needs mp4 or aac. What I ended up doing was going online and downloading a free converter program. Some of them don't work properly, but if you download the free version of "Switch Audio File Converter", it will allow you to convert other versions (i.e. mp3) to one that will work on the DSi. First thing, you can go on Limewire (free) and download the songs that you want to put on the DSi. Almost all songs on Limewire are mp3 versions. You can then take those mp3 versions and convert them to aac or mp4 through Switch Audio File Converter. When I convert my files to aac, it doesn't work on the DSi. I have to convert the files to m4a version. This has worked without any problem and all the songs that I put on the SD card work perfectly.

If you do not have a PC, get yourself one, at an electronics devices liquidation depot for next to nothing.

Make sure you have a decent O.S. for it so, that it can recognize the compact card reader drives. I should know about all this since, I have one of those units that have 4 different slots for 4 different types of SD cards. Plus 1 more USB port, that I currently use for both my wirelessly connected keyboard and mouse. So, that way, I found a way to make the unit permanently recognized and relevant to my everyday use of my PC.

No offense but this is what i did but it didnt work

The DSi only supports SD cards 2Gb and BIGGER (SDHC).
