With this image you can listen to over 27,000 classic Commodore 64 songs! The sound interface chip (SID) was one of the key factors that made the Commodore 64 legendary, it's more than bleep-blop music.

About SID Play

Sidplay for the Dreamcast is Christian Nowak's port of the open source library written by Michael Schwendt. The player supports directory and track browsing, subsong skip forward and back and track select. A nice future of the player is the ability to alternate the music from stereo to mono for a true C64 sound by the press of a button. If you want to know how the controls are mapped than have a look at the back cover.

Thanks Ian. I like the songs, but it would be even better if the hardcore C64 lovers post their favorite songs. I will add those to the webpages.
