Music on Loadstar Compleat?
I purchased the Loadstar Compleat several years ago and am mainly interested in the SID music. But after several years, I have forgotten how to play the included Music (D64, D81) images. All the SID Players that I've tried "cannot identify file type" for the SID music on those disk images. Can anyone provide some suggestions? Thanks!

Re: Music on Loadstar Compleat?
Hey Larry! I'm assuming that you're referring to the disk images in the Music folder on the Loadstar Compleat CD. The way I listen to the SID collection is like this:
1) First, make sure you rename the disk images from .d64 to .d81. They are not 1541 disk images and I think Fender accidentally named them as .d41s.
2) In VICE, change the floppy disk emulation of disk drive 8 as 1581, then mount the disk image.
3) Load "!",8,1
4) Once the program is loaded, choose to run the Music Player and then you should be able to select the SID files you wish to play.
Hope this helps!
