How to Play Audio on a Nintendo 3DS

Before you begin, you’ll need:

A Nintendo 3DS An SD Card (one is included with the Nintendo 3DS) Music files in MP3 or AAC format A PC with an SD Card reader

Playlists and More

You can assign your Nintendo 3DS music to playlists. When you play a song, select Add on the bottom screen, then select playlist or make a new one. You can also manipulate sound files. When a song is playing, tap the buttons on the bottom screen to change the song’s speed and pitch. You can also filter it through a Radio option, remove the lyrics with the Karaoke option, add an Echo effect, or convert the song to an 8-bit chiptune. Use the L and R buttons to add more effects, including claps, snare drums, meowing, barking, and more. Pull the rope on the bottom screen (or use the Up and Down buttons on the d-pad) to assign a different graphic to move to your audio output. There’s a lot of retro love here, including a graphic that’s reminiscent of a title from the Game & Watch series, and the characters from the NES classic Excite Bike. When your Nintendo 3DS is open, push the Right and Left buttons on the d-pad to shuffle through your playlist.
