How to Download MP3s to a Nintendo DS Lite

LIstening to mp3 files on a Nintendo DS Lite is simple if you have an SD memory card.

You can listen to mp3 files on your Nintendo DS Lite, but you will need to copy them to an SD memory card first. The music files will then play from the memory card once inserted into the Nintendo DS Lite. An SD memory card can hold multiple mp3 files. The number of songs depends on the storage capacity of the memory card and the size of the song files.

Things You'll Need

• SD memory card
• Computer

Instructions

1. Put the SD memory card into your computer.

2. Double click on either "My Computer" for a PC or "Finder" for Mac and locate the drive being used by the SD card. The drive may be labeled with the card's name or just say "SD Card."

3. Open the SD card drive by double-clicking on it. If there is nothing saved on the card, the folder will be empty.

4. Double click on "My Computer" or "Finder" again and locate the mp3 files saved on your computer.

5. Click on an mp3 file you want to download to the SD card until it's highlighted. You can do this with a single click of the mouse.

6. Drag the mp3 file into the SD folder. This will copy the file to the memory card. Repeat the process until you have copied all the files you want to save on to the memory card.

7. Click on the "X" in the upper right hand corner of the SD folder to close the file.

8. Eject the SD card from the computer and insert into the Nintendo DS Lite.
