Welcome back to the era of old home computers when chip music was popular and apps had their name and version included in the title bar.

SidAMP is a music player which supports the SID format known from the Commodore 64/128 home computers.

It uses the High Voltage SID Collection as the main data resource. This means when the app is started for the first time a download of approx. 90mb is required for the complete archive and additional 500mb storage space is required for unpacking. Please don't delete or modify any of the text files from the archive; they are used constantly by the app.

Main features:
* simple, small and intuitive
* PETSCII user interface
* high quality playback

From the main menu you can choose between SID chips or use the auto detect function. Please note that 8580 emulation should be used in combination with Digi Boost which can be toggled from the player screen.
