I personally don't see the advantage of a Nintendo DS Mp3 player. You might be able to organize it, but that doesn't really matter too much once you get used to it. If you have all the songs you really like right in a row, you won't bother to go through any of the other stuff you rarely listen to, but on an odd occasion decide to listen to. Plus if you listen to video game music as part of your player, putting all the music from the same game in a row does get a bit annoying. It's not enough variation.
The advantage is that you have one less device to carry around with you. For people who don't want to spend money on an mp3 player, it works fine.
LMP-ng's shuffle mode shuffles all the songs on your entire card. I use this quite often to shuffle my OCRemix tracks. You can also use playlists in DSOrganize and lmp-ng if you want.

And to use the DS as a player, wouldn't you have to open it every time you want to pause or something? (I have no idea how to use your DS as an Mp3 player, nor even heard of it till now.) If you could somehow program all of the commands to use the shoulder buttons, it might be practical then. Sounds like the DS would be a lot harder than just reaching into your pocket and pressing a button. to skip a song or pause.
In Moonshell and LMP-ng, L+R (in that order) advances to the next track while R+L pauses the song. This prevents accidental button presses while in your pocket. In DSOrganize, R is next and L is previous. All three have options to ignore shoulder button presses entirely. Works fine for me, reaching in my pocket to change to the next track.
