@murray: It’s a pleasure Take a look at the .79 cent version or the slightly more expensive Pro version – they both have the download all button [must have at least a bit of incentive to facilitate further development…]

By the way, the version for iPhone OS4 due this summer will feature playing in the background and full access via headphone remote control (finally…). Lots of more cool features coming as well. Oh, and… it’s coming to your iPad as well in a special edition… stay tuned.

Love the player, Michael. You’re a legend.

Would be great if there was a download all button, so I can grab them all while on wifi, and hit the road with the full collection.

Keep up the top work!

Okay, sorry for the , probably dumb, question at this sunday morning, but I can’t figure out how to transfer the whole HVSC-Library (v51) into my iPhone… Is it possible to to do it via my PC, I tried to drag and drop the package into iTunes which didn’t seem to work, or do I have to access http://www.hvsc.c64.org/ directly from my iPhone and download the whole library directly into my phone? As I have only a little amount of free MBs to download I want to be sure how it works before I download the package directly?

Thanks in advance…

P. S. the iPhone is not jailbroken…

@Thinktank: Your view may be applicable to most forums, you’re wrong here though.

@Nullzero: The Sid Player is “just” a playback engine for the C64 music that was very popular in the 80s and still is. As such you have access to over 35000 songs that have been handpicked by the very enthusiastic team that is responsible for the HVSC (High Voltage Sid Collection).

A full composer would be stellar, but is a major undertaking, something we can not deliver. Due to the low visibility and the high amount of (strange *cough* stuff) in the AppStore, iPhone development can only be a part-time job for us — hence we would not even try to create such a major thing as a SID composer.

Plus, we have the Sid Player Lite now so that you can have a free trial.

Cheers!

Nullzero, I’m not sure you’ll get an answer here. A lot of these boards are just bot forums created with a few dummy profiles and fake discussions to harvest emails. Either that, or your question was not SID player endorsing enough to respond to. You’d better just try it for $2.99 and determine for yourself.

You will have to forgive me for being such a newb to all this. To be blunt, I’m still not entirely sure what this app does. Is it mostly for playback or can it be used to compose tunes on your itouch/iPhone?

Wow the update was great! Good that you now can delete the tracks that you dont want. Looking forward to the function to add your own sids!

I have gotten error messages with some of my Sid tunes saying that the Sid track is to advanced to play and the track stops after a few seconds. and a red “!” appears to the left of the track in the “played” section. But i can still play them if i try again. a bug?
