You can rip your Audio CDs to Ogg Vorbis.
Android supports Ogg Vorbis.
Spotify uses Ogg Vorbis for streaming.
YouTube uses Vorbis codec for Webm videos and you can download the audio in Ogg Vorbis format without reconverting using YouTube Video and Audio Downloader for Firefox.
I have a question about something since I'm just curious...
I had a .bcstm file that was just tiny bit too big (3.25 MB), so I initially converted to .wav using a lower sample rate and then went back. Well, that didn't work as it turned out larger. But, I decided to instead just convert to looping Ogg and then back and it worked just fine. I don't believe anything was actually altered about the sample rate, so why did that work and did it compromise the quality very much?
The difference in sizes of my two conversions if you'd like to know (original size 3.25 MB)
BCSTM->WAV->BCSTM - 6.5 MB file
BCSTM->LOGG->BCSTM - 2.35 MB file

was the quality lossless and maybe you converted you wav two different times and changed the sample rate by mistake?
I was just using the brstm 3.4.1 converter with it set not to adjust the sample rate. The .logg file that was ouputted was very, very small (872 kb) but I'm listening on my 3DS and I don't think anything was messed up...
EDIT:Wait, I guess it converted to mono. nope I think I must have had it set to use 32,000 samples/sec after all when I did it. I guess what matters is that it still sounds okay and it is small enough now. Not sure why the .wav turned out like it did, though.
EDIT:
Bandcamp allows you to choose ogg (or FLAC, or MP3, or what have you) when you go to download music. Mind you, not every artist is on bandcamp but it's getting better.
Oh, and you don't need a custom theme to enjoy custom system menu music. Use 3ds_homemenu_extdatatool to dump the current theme to the SD card, delete both ThemeManager.bin and BGMCache.bin. Place your custom music there and copy back to extdata. (Basically just keep the BodyCache.bin)
Also, a 10MB .wav is going to output to about 3.02MB after converting to .brstm so you might want to keep that in mind. A 14.6MB .wav is about 4.2MB when converting to .brstm
MP3s also tend to get larger when going to .brstm. A 3.7MB MP3 jumped up to 6.8MB.
Fair enough. Those are just what I've seen over a few hours of messing with this. What I posted was the average result of converting about 86 files of varying quality and source formats to 16bit PCM .wav @ 32000Hz and feeding it through a brstm converter.
What do you mean you can't get it to work? Does the output fail, is it staticy sounding, not looping?Cant get this to workCan someone do this for me If I send the .wav?
Alrighty. Uplaod it somewhere and I'll take a look in a minute.
Edit: Also upload the theme you're using.
You can remove the link now. You can't link to retail themes from nintendo here. I just wanted the theme you were using to make 100% sure it was set to use bgm but seeing as it's the LBW theme it already is.
I'll take a look at the wav in a moment.

Yeah I know that, I tried everything and its a gift for my girlfriend really wanted to get this done!
Sorry it took so long, got distracted. The reason it wasn't working is because it was ever so slightly too big.
Here's a working, looping version of the song: -Removed because wrong version given-
Let me know if it sounds off or whatever. I didn't try and make it seamlessly loop so if it didn't already then it won't now. But it does loop so it won't just go silent when it's done playing.

Its slowed downed in a deeper tone and also it has a fuzzing crack occasionally, is there anything that can be done?
Omg I sent you the wrong file
Now uploading the correct file, what you did was fine I just send the wrong file Im so sorry -.-

Anybody here have a Xbox series S and a series X, is the performance difference noticeable? Not worried about 4k. I have a series X but not a series S and was curious. (Reason- I was thinking of buying a series S for a second tv, for when grandkids come over, to keep them off my X) -
