Re: [All] .sid file properties
Dale, I did find something in the end [1], I suppose the google gods felt pity on me. It seems to tie up well with what is in a hexdump is telling me. I still need to confirm a few things though... mostly the track count. I'll let the list know.

Re: [All] .sid file properties
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I've tried many times over many years to do this, and I've never managed to do so to my satisfaction. I did once (years ago) find a non-free (as in closed source _and_ cost $20) Sid to midi converter, but I never bought it and haven't been able to find it since My understanding is that sids don't actually contain any tracking info as such, they contain machine code for the sid chip - it's more accurate technically to say that sids and sid players are not so much a music format as an emulation format for a sound chip. But if you manage to find anything interesting, I'd appreciate hearing about it!

[All] .sid file properties
After wading through the noise unsuccessfully on google, could anyone point me towards some means of getting the track information from a .sid file?
