Music

  Insert your flash-based SD card into your computer's card reader. The SD card, a rectangular-shaped flat card with a "SD" logo on it, slides into the SD card slot on your computer's SD card reader. If you do not have an SD card reader on your computer, you cannot copy songs from your computer to your Nintendo DSi. SD card readers are built into the computer case and typically are located on the front of the computer.

  Click on the "Computer" icon. Click on and open the "SD card" icon on your computer screen. The open on-screen represents data that is currently stored on your SD card. Drag any songs you want to copy to the SD card into the only folder open on your monitor. The song files on your computer are copied to the SD card. Place the files in folders, if desired, or copy them to the card without folders.
