That’s right, the Nintendo DS will soon be able to play music. How is this possible? A special cartridge that can accept SD memory cards, and from there it will locate and play MP3 files. The player will come with a 512MB SD card, but users can use ones of larger capacity. Unfortunately, video files are completely incompatible. Too bad, so sad.

This function will also be available for the Game Boy Advanced and the Game Boy Micro, and looks like it will lead to a complete repackaging of the DS as we know it.
