Sid Player Update
Our Sid Player application has been on sale in the AppStore for three weeks now. We received quite a nice amount of feedback considering that this is a niche application — thanks to all of you who downloaded and reviewed or mailed us!
Behind the curtains, we have been analysing the feedback and have just started to work on the first update which we expect to be available within the next 4 weeks.
This next release is mostly a database update, since we will add the missing songs from the HVSC directories ‘GAMES’ and ‘DEMOS’. This adds about 2000 more classy titles that were left out due to not being present in the appropriate ‘MUSICIANS’ subdirectories.
Apart from that we will add an NTSC-override in the settings tab and — if all goes well — add some download-all-the-good-stuff buttons 
Stay tuned for more exciting things coming to the Sid Player this year!

It takes almost 3 hours to dowload the full HVSC on my 8megabit network.
Ther is a little bug. After the countdown stoped, not the full collection has been downloaded. Authors from V-z are missing. After restart the app, it finds 4000 more tracks and starts to download. After a second restart, the previously downloaded 4000 songs are missing, and the app tries to downloade again… and so one… So I don’t have the full collection.

I tried to erase cache, but it didn’t help. It stops randomly the download, and can’t able to continue…

Sorry, apparantly our first implementation is buggy. We found some other little annoyances after the release, so we have to provide an update anyways. Next couple of weeks are pretty much booked for working on our 2nd application, but we try to sneak the update out somewhere in march.
