3DS Sound questions

So I finallyput some music on my SD card. I have two problems.

The music isnt very lound. Sure its ok if your in a quiet room, not great, but ok. However I was playing pool in a bar last night and wanted to listen to music while playing and I could barely hear the music in my headphones. I have the volume bar on full and I cant find any settings within the music program that will allow me to turn up the volume even more.

Next problem. I put music from two sources on the SD card, both in mp3 format. One source was an album I bought off of Amazon in mp3 format. It worked fine. The other source was mp3s from a music website that were free. They played fine on the itunes software on my computer, but didnt work on the 3DS. Not sure why. Anyone run into this?

Anyone have any suggestions?

How about some headphones or headphones that look like earplugs that have sound canceling technology.

What is sound canceling technology? I was just using iphone earplugs. Does anyone recommend a particular brand of headphones that might be able to boost the volume?

Quality of the mp3 can make a big difference too. If you purchased the songs from Amazon, they should be good quality... but try maybe ripping a CD at high bitrate and see if there's a difference. Low bitrate rips can sound very quiet.

How about using a rational music player... like a sansa clip.jedinat

Sure I could. But I bring my 3DS everywhere with me, so it makes sense to play music on it.

The 3DS is quieter then most music players. It should be fine to play if you have the volume on max, the only suggestions there is make sure y our songs are good quality and make sure your headphones are good quality and turn the 3DS volume at max. Some headphones are rather quiet, on an android or iphone it might be okay, since their music player output the music really loud, but the 3DS music player outputs it quite a bit quieter. It's odd because games and OS sounds are loud, but the music player and some trailers are very quiet. I don't think it's the 3DS's speakers or the sound card, I think it's just they made the music player too quiet. Let's just hope they update it. As for now, your gonna have take my suggestions. Second. I'm not sure why. All my songs I have on my SD card on my 3DS were downloaded off the internet for free. It should work fine.FPS1337

I download my music from the internet too, all work fine. Couldn't find your problem and don't think Nintendo has any technology about preventing music piracy
