Getting music on your DSi

How do you get songs from your music library to your DSi? We don’t use the DSi much as a music player, although the kids enjoy it. And with Flipnotes, you can use music files in the animations.

You might want to watch a free music library tool/player called Doubletwist, which was just released for beta and which will include in a future release support for the DSi, including converting the file to the acceptable format.

I like, too, that Doubletwist includes integration with Amazon’s music store [though not yet for the Windows version]. I’m always in search of a good replacement for iTunes, and this could eventually be it. [Songbird is still a little rough for my wife's use at this point, who has a low threshold for bugs.]

Sex sells, even religious games

Different strokes for different folks. That said, I can’t help but notice this ad for a Christian version of Guitar Hero, [Guitar Praise], there’s an interesting appeal at around 0:56 in the ad.

Even Christian boys love boobage.

Free songs, legally

Lately, I have become an avid use of Media Monkey and Amazon MP3. Media Monkey’s interface can be a bit clunky in places, almost offering too many choices, but its performance is excellent, especially compared to iTunes. It scans my 150GB drive to update the music library very quickly, seemingly in less than a minute.  But it’s Amazon’s MP3 site that I’m enjoying. Sure, I have to download a file and then install it to my PC, all of which isn’t nearly as one-step friendly as iTunes. But, besides the DRM-free files, I like Amazon’s prices, not to mention the wealth of bargains and free songs. While iTunes gives customers a free song each day, Amazon has over 500 free songs.

So, do you use Amazon for downloading songs? And do you take advantage of their free songs?
