SidAMP is like #Spotify for your #Commodore64 needs! It automatically downloads the #HVSC so you can always enjoy the latest hits. It has a great interface, although not that entuitive.

I use this collection for many years now, and it still gets updated. To play the SID files I currently use ZXTune:

Who needs music streaming services when there is the High Voltage SID Collection? https://www.hvsc.c64.org
And https://github.com/Alexco500/sidplay5 seems to be the best player option on the Mac that I could find.

I only found this out while enjoying the ASID playback option from @chordian's oustanding deepsid player ( https://deepsid.chordian.net/?file=/MUSICIANS/D/Deenen_Charles/Thats_the_Way_It_Is_intro.sid ), playing back all my favorites through my Therapsid (synthesizer that takes one or two real SID chips), since I finally got the right MIDI adapters to update its firmware to be able to play.

Some 30 years later, literally just this past week, I found out this song I've had burned into my mind for my entire life is, in fact, a cover of a popular song by the same name from the 80s, by the artist "Mel & Kim": https://youtu.be/LIj4e4BdpGc?t=38
Turns out "Mel & Kim" was there in the artist's field this whole time, I just never bothered to look at all the info on the track!

Success 🥳💪🏻 Using #Vice #vsid to play a #Commodore 64 psid file over usb through an #ftdi ft2232h on a #SwinSID. Audio out via the SwinSID #pwm output back into the linein of my PC. You are hearing 16Bit Machine 🎶 from the #HVSC
#c64 #retro #retrogames
Added custom code to vice to support this 😎
Also tried the the #SIDKickPico by #frntc but thats not playing clear sounds yet.
Ps. The bits spamming past are debug prints, no worries.
Got a spare #FTDI #ft2232h dev board lying around? Does it have all gpios available? Got a PC but no #Commodore64 but do have sid chips at hand? Try my adaptation of #SidBerry for FTDI to play sid files over #USB
