How to Edit Songs & Save Them on a DSi

Although it's not possible to edit music files saved on your Nintendo DSi's SD card, you can record 10-second clips of songs playing on your stereo or being performed live to experiment with later. If you make sure you're as near to the source of the sound as possible, you can get a good-quality recording of any song using the DSi's built-in microphone
