Product Description:

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.

I�ve used SIDPlay for some years and I�m really glad the developer has done all the great work. I haven�t discovered any bugs so I highly recommend it to any fan of the Commodore 64 sound. Since Version 4 it was even better with a streamlined iTunes-alike interface and a usable playlist handling. Being already satisfied, I still have two feature requests:

1. The buttons to change the sub-songs should be a little bit bigger and maybe located outside the status display.

2. Maybe it�s possible to pre-render a SID song in AIFF or Apple-Losless format and then enable scrubbing at a timeline (move to any point of the song)

3. Sometimes I like to listen to a sub-song several times but after the song end is reached, SIDPlay continues with the next sub-song. So it would be great to either lock a sub song or to access the sub-songs via a disclosure triangle in the playlist, so the continue/repeat/shuffle settings apply to a sub-song as they do to a regular song.

Thanks a lot!
