[All] .sid file properties

2009-05-11 Thread Cameron Frazier
After wading through the noise unsuccessfully on google, could anyone
point me towards some means of getting the track information from a
.sid file?

Kind regards,

Hi,

I've tried many times over many years to do this, and I've never managed
to do so to my satisfaction. I did once (years ago) find a non-free (as
in closed source _and_ cost $20) Sid to midi converter, but I never
bought it and haven't been able to find it since

My understanding is that sids don't actually contain any tracking info
as such, they contain machine code for the sid chip - it's more accurate
technically to say that sids and sid players are not so much a music
format as an emulation format for a sound chip.

But if you manage to find anything interesting, I'd appreciate hearing
about it!

Regards,
- -Dale

Dale, I did find something in the end [1], I suppose the google gods
felt pity on me.

It seems to tie up well with what is in a hexdump is telling me.  I
still need to confirm a few things though... mostly the track count.

I'll let the list know.

Cameron 'Toaster`' frazier

There's no track information in .sid except
*) name of main tune
*) number of subtunes
*) default subtune

NOTE: Please don't crosspost so massively.

That's what I've found, though the number of subtunes is all I'm
currently interested in.

Point taken.  Apologies.
