How to Convert NSF to MP3

The NSF extension on a file means that the file holds the music from an original Nintendo game. NSF is a format that contains all the data for the music from games like "Super Mario Bros." and "Megaman." There are NSF players that allow you to listen to the individual songs within an NSF file, but to play them in a more traditional media player means you will need to convert each track within an NSF to an MP3.
