+Basically, SIDPLAY is just an ordinary music player software. More
+specifically, SIDPLAY emulates the Sound Interface Device chip (MOS 6581,
+commonly called SID) and the Micro Processor Unit (MOS 6510) of the
+Commodore 64 on your computer. It is a platform independent software
+emulating these hardware components. Therefore it is able to load and
+execute C64 machine code programs which produce music or sound. In general
+these are independent fragments of code and data which have been ripped
+from games and demonstration programs and have been transferred directly
+from the C64.
