welcome to webSIDYou have reached the home of webSID. This Commodore C64 music emulator allows to play original C64 music files online in a browser. I hope you'll have fun using it!The site takes you on a trip down memory lane, letting you explore most of the C64 music that has been composed in the past 40 years: People like myself that had owned a respective "breadbox" back in their childhood might want to directly head over to the CHARTS section and listen to a selection of songs that made that home computer so memorable. If you are comfortable off the beaten path, you might try the EXPLORER section to browse the ca sixty thousand C64 songs available in the High Voltage SID Collection and create your personal playlists. (New music for the C64 is still being created to this day, but the HVSC snapshot that I am using here is already some years old. If you are interested in the latest stuff created in "the scene" today I recommend you try JCH's DeepSID site.) The music created for the C64 oftentimes not merely relies on the capabilities of its MOS Technology "Sound Interface Device" chip (aka SID), but also on creative realtime programming and exploitation of obscure hardware glitches. For those interested in respective examples and background information, the SPECIALS section should be entertaining. In case you wonder why this project also goes by the name Tiny'R'Sid you'll find this and other information about the webSID project in the ABOUT section. Or if you are also interested in my non-C64 online music players, you are sure to find something in the EXTRAS section PS: This page dates back to 2012 and its UI hasn't been fixed to be used on smartphones. I strongly recommend you use a regular computer to watch it. Also the page tries to automatically play music when you enter a page - which the Google/FF baboons decided to block in their current browser versions: You can work around this stupidity by either white-listing this page to specifically allow respective auto-play - or you can use the stop/play buttons to manually start the playback via the shown player widgets.

My generic WebAudio player allows to pass in a function that is called when a song reaches its end. If you want to play the same song again, then that's what you'd put into that function. See doOnTrackEnd() on my Chron-O-Loo page..

Thanks but most tunes repeat (loop) at different points other than the START point so doing ontrackend will just replay a tune from the start. I noticed deliplayer has a REPEAT option but uade does not?

Update: The player is now using Hermit's filter, "anti aliasing" and "combined waveform" implementation.

The "WebSid emulator" (i.e. the current version of my player) is the only player available in DeepSID that provides stereo functionality (see https://www.wothke.ch/websid_stereo/ ), i.e. you have to first select that player if you want stereo. In DeepSID you then get the respective controls in the "Stereo" tab - right above the player controls. (Read my above linked page for more details.)
