   Yes Peter has a link on his website but the files are on a different server   
   now.  I finished my work in around 2018.  I wasnt trying to put Mr Weighill   
   down in anyway but hes only supporing modern PC, Tablet and Cell phone players   
   with Sid play,  Mr    
   Weighill just forgot how a real C64 works with a limit of 16 characters and   
   that is why some of his work wouldnt show up in the older C=64  Sid player and   
   Stereo Player,  so my work here I shortened the song names to a minimum of 12   
   characters, that is    
   mentioned in the older Sid Editor before you save the song.  I tested all of   
   this on my UIEC2SD on my real C64C to make sure all file extensions will load,   
   I would edit one Sid artist at a time, but in 5 years I did finish, I rather   
   enjoyed this work,    
   but happy its done for all to now enjoy *more* of this older collection of   
   great Sid Artists.  The whole collection is in a .ZIP archive so you will need   
   to use a PC to unzip everything, then if you own a UIEC2SD you can copy the   
   whole collection to that.   
     I would advise to make seperate directories for each Sid artist the player   
   seems to not like regular directories and some really unpredictable results   
   can take place.  BTW I put everything in .D81 images.  Some of this is kind of   
   clunky but if you copy    
   the .d81 images to wherever this should work.  BTW I always included the later   
   Stereo player V10.3 on every image so youre all ready to play Sid music.  Just   
   follow my instructions if using a UIEC2SD that device does not support the   
   older Fastload, if    
   you do not disarm that the player will lockup.  I do hope more will hopefully   
   enjoy playing this older collection, that was my intention, and I really enjoy   
   it as well,  Enjoy!
