@Jo21: Apple has monopoly in DRM? Or what you are trying to say?
If the content with DRM is downloaded to a player that supports DRM (usually you aren't able to DL DRM content to any other device, or atleast play it) the content will work on it. It's that simple. Of course, the content has to be purchased for the device, since DRM is device specific (the purchase may include rights to copy the content X amount of times to different players).

@Onna: Yes you can convert, you just need the software that codes it to AAC.

It could be noted, that in a tiny fraction of the time people have spent whining about the new format, I converted my entire collection of music to AAC, threw it on an SD card, put it in my DS and never have to think about it again.

Perhaps I'm the only one who finds it ironic when people cry about the time effort to convert(instead of just supporting mp3), but spend hours arguing on a forum about it :)

 

i just did it for my 2gb microsd card, i don't recommend it, getting a 8gb next week.

 

it took over 500 min transcode and tranfer to aac just a part of my library.

That's strange, it took me about 20 minutes to convert 2 gigs worth of stuff to AAC via iTunes. What program were you using to convert?

@Onna, as I mentioned above, iTunes is pretty handy for the conversion, basically just highlight your library and click the 'create AAC version'. You can change the encoding rate via the preferences options.

Also, I didn't find there was a noticeable drop in sound quality when I converted.

Took me 2hrs to convert 2.3GB of music from mp3/wma to ACC, and I cannot tell of a decease in sound quality at all. It really doesn't take that long, and it saved me a bunch of space, that 2.3GB is now just 1.2GB. I didn't use iTunes.

Well, but quality DOES drop, and you'll never be able to restore it. I'm really worried what will become of all the music on people's hard drives 10 years down the road... by then, everybody will have converted their libraries some more times, and it will all be a garbled, artifact-laden mess.

Yes, because nobody will check before deleting their old-format music.

Yep... if Nintendo really does want to change the audio file standard from MP3 they should choose a lossless format like .flac, .ape, or .shn. Then I would be 100% supportive of not including MP3 support. In that case you could convert your MP3 collection without losing fidelity.

Except that Nintendo isn't exactly the first or only company coming out in support of AAC, iTunes already distributes via AAC and they seem to do just fine.

I can't help it if the customers are getting hoodwinked. ;)

Extra exclamation points and capital letters, as it turns out, don't strengthen your point.

They chose the AAC format because it's easier to play around with. Remember, you can change up the sounds, slow the music down, speed it up, add effects to it, etc.

 

 

You can do that with any digital music format. AAC doesn't specifically allow those things.

yes they do their DRM files could only be played by ipods before, while others stores even if drmed let you play on any file. until they very recently announce undrmed music by paying extra.

Example : Amazon.

Superdave: i use winamp to AAC+, itunes it's mess resource hog, especially the windows version and not very personalizable.
