Converting MP3s For The Nintendo DSi Without iTunes

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Now that I’ve spent a morning trying to figure out how to convert .mp3s to an audio format that works on Nintendo’s DSi or DSi XL I decided to post about it so the next time I need to do it I’ll know where to look.

Quick Info about DSi supported audio

Apple states that the only supported audio format for the DSi is AAC. AAC is the standard iTunes audio format. If you have it installed you can convert the files with iTunes if you prefer. I needed a process that did not use iTunes.

Here’s the info on the DSi audio format from Apple:

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/dsi/en_na/sdCards.jsp#compatible_files

Compatible file types

The Nintendo DSi and Nintendo DSi XL are compatible with the following file types:

    File types: AAC

    Filename Extensions: .m4a, .mp4, .3gp

    Bitrate: 16 kbps – 320 kbp

    Sampling rate: 32kHz – 48kHz

Here’s Apple’s “help” for converting MP3s to AAC:

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/dsi/en_na/sdCards.jsp#convert

“Music files that you want to play on your system may or may not be copy protected. Music files that are copy protected can not be converted to compatible AAC files for play on the Nintendo DSi or Nintendo DSi XL. Music files that are not copy protected can be converted to different formats using commercially available music file converters.

Nintendo does not provide a process to convert music files; however, there is conversion software for your PC which you can purchase, called Nero Music2Go. You can find more information about this program at www.nero.com/nintendodsi.

Whichever conversion software you decide to use, you will want to make sure the converter works with the file format you are currently using as well as the AAC format. For example, if your songs are currently in .mp3 format, you will want to find a program that can convert MP3 files to AAC.”

The Minivan Soundtrack

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

My boys are now old enough that I can share the enjoyment of listening to music with them. Of course, this most commmonly happens in the car, so I’ve put together the following list of songs that we listen to most often.

Appropriately enough, I’ve called this list “the Minivan Soundtrack”. It’s mostly an up tempo collection of popular songs from movies, television shows, sporting events, and kid’s radio.

I recommend picking 15 to 20 of these and making your own travel CD. Then all you need to do is flash the vehicle dome light to the beat for an instant, mobile dance party with your family! Keep both hands on the wheel, please!! ;)

Let me know some of your family favorites!

Falcons Game Day Tweetgrid – vs Panthers 9.20.09

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

The Falcons are hosting division rivals the Carolina Panthers in the Georgia Dome this week and look to continue their great start to the 2009 season with another victory. If the rival Panthers aren’t enough to get you fired up, the Falcons will be wearing NFL Throwback jerseys that honor the 1966 inaugural Falcon season. There will also be several special events during the game including:

  • At the end of the first quarter Atlanta native and US Open quarter finalist Melanie Oudin will be introduced.
  • During the first half two minute warning Atlanta rock band Collective Soul will be introduced and honored for their recent introduction to the Georgia Music Hall Of Fame.
  • During halftime 20 members of the original 1966 Falcon roster will be introduced.

It will be a game time decision for me, but I’m going to “throwback” either wearing my 1998 Chris Chandler #12 or Chuck Smith #96 (too many margaritas last night .. sorry Chuck!) #90 jersey.

I will be tweeting from my seats like last week. Continue reading past the break to see Game 2′s live tweetgrid.

Fake MP3 from LimeWire and eDonkey hides Trojan

“Six fingers and three iPhones are enough to create a band, and Austria’s iBand is living proof, having scored a hit on the Internet by converting the little gadgets into a guitar, a keyboard and a set of drums.

The Viennese trio first gained attention in February on the video-sharing website YouTube with its music video “Life is greater than the Internet.”
