sidplay2.sourceforge.net

A excellent, albeit simple, player.

Works just great.

It does support the HardSID if you grab the drivers for that.

\apt-get  install sidplay

Using ∞

keyboard commands

• Left/right or , and . for skipping tracks
• cursor-up for speeding up. Press more or hold it to go much faster.
• cursor-down for going back to normal speed.

• p for pause

Converting sid to wav ∞

\sidplay2  filename.sid  -w
\sidplay2  filename.sid  -w filename.wav

track 3

\sidplay2  `-o3` filename.sid  -w

It’ll make filename[3].wav

It’s stupid and continues to export everything else too. Boo. -o3 is start track, and there’s no “end track” concept.

The song length might be wrong. Try “-t n” like so:

\sidplay2  -o3 filename.sid  -w  -t5:02

Note: It will overwrite the destination.

Stereo support:

\sidplay2  -o3 filename.sid  -w  -t5:02  -s
