I put my SD card into the computer ( my trusty compy) and downloaded a lot of songs. When I put it in my DSi it says can't find compatible songs. Anyone know why?

you're probably trying to use them as MP3s, the DSi only plays AAC

if you're using iTunes go to preferences and you can convert them to AAC very easily

if not just google and MP3 to AAC software converter its a fairly simple and easy process

The DSi should have come with software for converting the MP3's check out the rest of the contents of the box.

^^Ah, no. The DSi does not come with software for converting. Do you even have one? I found it easy to use Itunes(which is free) to convert files to AAC format. Works just fine for me.

As far as I know, Windows Media Player has no option for converting MP3 files to AAC. iTunes is probably your best bet, but if you would rather not have that installed on your computer, Google "mp3 to aac converter", and the resulting programs should prove satisfactory.

Just download iTunes. It will make your life easier.

I had all my songs converted and put on an SD card like a week before the launch. I just popped it in and played some music.

If you actually can read right he said it "should have come with" not meaning it actaully does but nintendo should have put it in there.
