AAC files of the same bitrate are of higher audio quality than MP3 files of the same bitrate.

So you can choose to either have
higher quality
lower file size

or a combination of the two

it has a music symbol on the box... I mean, this is the sort of thing you'd just expect to work.

most of my music is AAC so... no concern here

Almost all of my music is mp3.

so how would you take the songs from iTunes and put it on the DSi....

On a Mac they will be in the folder music/Itunes Music. I don't know where Itunes stores the files in Windows

I've known that the DSi only supports AAC since it was announced, it's really not a big deal, if you really want MP3 playback on a DS device that badly, get a DSL and one of those backup devices that supports moonshell and dsorganize, then it will playback mp3 and you can encode videos for your DS and stream shoutcast with it while still being cheaper than a PSP with a much richer game selection.

I personally use BeSweet and some GUI to batch encode AAC myself, if you want to do file by file, you can also just use something like MeGUI, although that's more for video encoding in general but great for audio too.

that sucks but you can convert them
