Title: SID music
Post by: marty3d on May 30, 2002, 12:36:07 am

I'm a sucker for SID songs (well, sort of...nostalgic anyway). Now I wonder if there's a possibility to play those files in MJ8?

For those of you who doesn't know what it is, it's the format used for good ol' C64 songs...

Thanks JimH and company for MJ, you've really changed my thinking of how to experience music through the computer!

If there's a Winamp 2 SID plugin, MJ would probably work with it.

Otherwise, maybe there's a tool somewhere that could dump your SID's to a format that MJ understands.

Good luck.  And I miss Maniac Mansion...

I was intrigued by the topic so I've tried SidAmp from http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~adsoft/sidamp/ and it works great in MJ8 (there is also another WinAmp plugin littleSid, but I haven't tried it).

BTW This brings a totally different perspective on "Ripping"
