“Commodore 64 music player”

by Cyril Roger

Commodore 64 nostalgics you are in luck: SIDPLAY is the jukebox of your dreams, which can store and play sounds and musics from all the games that have ever been created for the classic console.

Even better, SIDPLAY lets you sync and download a complete collection of tracks for free, and you can regularly update it for nothing. This process will take a while, and you might have to refresh the server to connect to, but it's worth the wait.

As to the interface, Mac users will find something nearly identical to iTunes, smart playlists included. As with the Apple media player, you'll be able to browse easily through all the songs, this time organized by demos, games and musicians. An added plus, is that SIDPLAY allows you to convert to MPEG4 to be able to play the tracks on your iPod.

What more can we say, if you are or were the proud owner of a Commodore 64 this app is a must-have. A jukebox to play all the sounds from the classic console.

From the publisher of SIDPLAY

SIDPLAY is a Commodore 64 music player. It emulates the sound chip and other internals of the Commodore 64 home computer to play back music that was originally written on it. The sound chip of the C64 is called the "Sound Interface Device" or SID, and therefore this music is known as SID music. The SID chip is basically a three voice synthesizer on a chip. The unusual combination of digital and analogue circuitry is the reason for its distinctive sound.

SIDPLAY strives to offer the best possible SID music experience on any platform. It has been designed with the High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) in mind. This collection is the biggest and most complete collection of SID music on the Internet. It can be obtained for free from http://hvsc.c64.org/.
