Need that Commando fix right now?? What are you waiting for?!

Description

WinAmp already supports MPEG, MIDI, and WAVE audio. Now you can play Commodore 64 SID tunes in WinAmp as well!

Features

  • Features both the SidPlay and reSid emulation engines (Note: some configuration options do not work with reSid)
  • WinAmp playlists can be adapted to play SIDs, complete with cut-off times and sub-tunes!
  • No extra commands required, simply drag-and-drop, or select your PSID files from the file selector box
  • Supports STIL and the High Voltage SID Collection
  • Supports sub-tunes, using a convenient slider bar which appears only when you play SID files
  • Easy to configure and use

Download

IMPORTANT: WinAmp 2.0 or later is required to use this plug-in! We strongly recommend you download WinAmp v2.02 or later, there is a marked performance increase from SidAmp with these later versions.

If you have WinAmp 2.0 or later, simply download the plug-in and unzip it into your plug-ins folder inside the main winamp folder.

Obtaining tunes

Where to get SID tunes?
  • Here's a great place to start, the High Voltage SID Collection, which has over 17000 SID tunes!!
  • If you don't want to download so much, feel free to browse our favourites, by song name and artist .
    NOTE: If you use Netscape, these must be downloaded by shift-left clicking on them!
    All these are selected from the High Voltage SID collection . With 17000 SIDs in the archive, we obviously haven't had time to listen to them all - the ones in our favourites list are mostly memories of the c64 days - if you have any suggestions please let us know of the HVSC filename and we'll probably add it to the list!
  • Remember an old C64 game, intro, or demo tune, but don't know where to download it from? Try searching for it here
  • Keep up to date with the latest SID and C64 news here and search the HVSC archive here too.
