Best Answer

Because you have a MP3 player that can only play MP3 audios, but M4A can't play on a MP3 player because M4A is an MPEG 4 and your MP3 player is a MPEG 3.

The MPEG 4 is to powerful or high for the MPEG 3 (4 is bigger than a 3).

How do I play m4v on windows media player?

You don't. You download quicktime and play them on there. No, windows media player doesn't support m4v video, but you can convert m4v video to wmv video at first, then windows media player can play it. M4V Converter Genius can convert m4v movies to avi, wmv, mp4, mov, mpeg, vob, flv, 3gp with high quality. Then you can play m4v movies on WMP.

Does garage band mobile code the songs you make?

You can export it to iTunes, which will then play in your song list, and be uploaded to your computer when you sync. It makes a M4A audio file, which cannot be played directly in MovieMaker or Media Player, but iTunes can then make an MP3 version of it.


What website do you use to download songs on the dsi?

You can get the songs from anywhere, but they have to be AAC files, such as .m4a files. You can use iTunes to convert .mp3 and .wma files into .m4a so they will work. A word of warning, though: if you buy songs from the iTunes store only iTunes Plus songs (without DRM) will work on the DSi.

no, only M4A's
