Quote from: "Antiriad2097"From the couple of tracks I played, its just recordings of the SIDs.

I don't think its touted as anything more than that though.
The High Voltage SID Collection looks pretty cool. I've just been looking at the site. Thats a comprehensive chunk of SID tunes mate!

HVSC has been on the go for years, its one of my early 'retro scene' finds. Still gets updated and is so standardised that some player apps directly support its file structure, so you just point the player at HVSC and it picks up all the tracks. I've even got SID Player Pro on my iPhone wiith it, takes up much less space than MP3s so I've more room for apps and podcasts.

I might actually own this CD physically anyway, I've a few discs I bought for the novelty.

While we're on SIDs, the Immortal 64 podcast is worth a punt since the C64 takeaway is no more. A neat way to discover interesting tracks new and old.

I'm just downloading the Android SID player now. There appears to be some slight criticism about the search capability in the app. Have you ever had any issues with it?

Hopefully its got a shuffle setting.

Cheers for the heads up.

Weirdly, there isn't a great SID player on Android, that one is about the best of the bunch. Its ok, and I've not had problems with searching, but the interface and presentation is clunky.

I found droidsound to be very good and its a multi format player too, so can play all your Amiga and Atari ST music, spectrum, c64, snes etc.. Its the android's answer to Modizer , maybe give that a try too

droidsound is another one for the list then, certainly if it plays Amiga tunes too. I'll check it out.

Cheers!

This really is an awesome freebie.. :113:

I've listened to this a lot lately. It's ace.
Its a good collection and a decent length. I tend to have it playing in the background while I'm working on my degree.

I'm only just scratching the surface when it comes to SID tunes. What other composers are worth checking out?
