Wow, one 256 byte music in the TinySID compo so far (and it really eats my processor time in Sidplay2/w). It’ll be interesting to see how many more entries Stefano gets before April.

[9]It is a RSID rip, so it use lot of emulation resource in sidplay2. Maybe I can provide a PSID version (but need some time). Note that I add a rule to clarify that it is not allowed to enter the compo with tunes that use code ripped from already submitted tunes (as rip 256 or 512 byte is quite easy).

@the 100 SID greats news... I thought people would stop with this all-time mania after the Millenium passed. What I really hate about the C=64 all-time lists is that it somehow suggests ’everything’s over, it’s time to select the all time bests’. Which after all is true (at least as far as games go, and sometimes I feel that music, too) but anyway I don’t like seeing it black on white. :/

I agree with Wotnau. "SID Music - 100 Greats" moved to Related News.

It`s wrong... the trainstation used a commodore pc with intel chips ... no c64 .. but the tv station did something wrong...

@14: The funny thing is - if it was a plain poll asking "What’s your bloody most favourite music on the C=64?" I’d happily take part. One small "all time" and such a giant difference. ;)

If you translate "all time" into "so far", it should not appear as provocative. But everyone who intends to make a such list should probably listen through *every* subsong on *every* SID listed in HVSC, and even then you will miss some that haven’t been successfully ripped yet. Otherwise it will be "top 100 of those songs I’ve heard". I’d be more interested in "top 100 of those (songs/styles) I’d like to hear more of".

@15 was it even a commodore system? Heise described it as a "Intel-310-System mit einem 80286-Prozessor". Anyway this news shows us again how easily rumours do spread and how much you should trust the news on tv, the internet or in your newspapers blindly.

Added Willow Party 2005 to the partyscope and moved "C64 in real life" & "C64 in real life - NOT!" to Related News.

@17: bullshit, I can easily tell you what my fave tunes are even though I haven’t heard all tunes that were ever done. Because those that I didn’t hear (yet) are most certainly not favourites of mine ;)
