No, Not An ACTUAL IPod.

But, This Musical Method Requries:

NO Homebrew, Unless If You Have It.

A SD Card For Your 3DS

Nintendo 3DS Sound

A 3DS

And A MP3 Song On Your Computer.

Put Your SD Card Into Your Computer, And On The Root Of The SD Card, Create A Folder Named
"Music".

Then Put Your MP3 File Into The Music Folder You Just Made.

Congratulations, You Have Finished!

Take Your SD Card Out Of Your Computer, And Put It Into Your 3DS.

Open Up Nintendo 3DS Sound, And Wait For Like, 30 Seconds, And You Should See The Music Folder Pop - Up.

Open The Music Folder, And Click On Your Music, And Enjoy Your Music!

THIS DOES NOT AFFECT HOMEBREW IN ANY WAY

3DS sound can play a lot of files actually just fine, length limitations only apply to recordings on the system, not playback, so you can easily have 300+ full songs and listen to them whenever you like, that's common knowledge actually, so what's the point of this thread really?:/

3DShell can increase supported sound formats, but is still kinda meh... Now if there was a way to make your music play over a game's sound like systems such as the PSP can do, THAT would deserve a thread

Okay, this is sick! I had no clue that the 3DS could play audios longer than 15-30 seconds

This is a music player for the 3DS. It plays PCM WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Opus, Vorbis and MP3. Music continues to play through headphones whilst the 3DS is closed.

Note from developer:

Due to limitations in ctrulib, only ASCII characters are displayed correctly. Other characters will appear garbled, but functionality is not affected.

With the Nintendo 3DS turned off, remove the Nintendo 3DS SD card from its slot. The SD card slot is located on the left side of the device. Open the covering for the SD card slot, push the SD card to free it, then pull it out.

Insert the SD card into a computer that contains the music files you want to transfer to the Nintendo 3DS. The computer must have an SD card reader. You can also use a USB-to-SD card reader.

If a menu asks what you want to do with the removable media, open the folder to view the files. If the menu doesn't appear automatically, navigate to the drive using My Computer (PC) or Finder (Mac).

In a separate window, open the folder that contains the audio files you want to transfer. Then, copy and paste (or drag and drop) the files to the SD card.

When the music is transferred, remove the SD card from the computer.

Insert the SD card into the Nintendo 3DS. Make sure the power is turned off.

Turn on the Nintendo 3DS.

Select Music and Sound on the bottom menu screen.

Using the d-pad, press down until you reach the folder marked SDCARD. Press the A button to select your uploaded music from a menu.

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.

Can you listen to music on a 3DS?

You can listen to and even edit audio files on the 3DS.

How do I use my 3DS as an mp3 player?

Select the Nintendo 3DS Sound icon on the HOME Menu, and tap Open. Tap the desired music folder on the lower screen. Tap Open, and then use the stylus to scroll through music files or folders. Select a music file and tap Play to begin playback.

Does 3DS support mp3?

Play music files (. mp3, . m4a, . mp4, .

How do I add music to my 3DS sound?

Music can be put on a 3DS by removing the SD card and loading the music files onto it manually. If your laptop has an SD card port, it can be inserted there; if not, use an SD card adapter for a USB.
