How to Use iTunes to Get Music for DSi

The Nintendo DSi contains several additional features compared to the original model. For instance, the DSi has music playback options. Nintendo, however, only included one compatible file format for the DSi's music files: AAC, meaning your MP3s or other music files cannot play on your handheld system. You can, however, use iTunes to convert music files to the AAC format. Afterward, copy the songs to your SD card and play them on your DSi.
