Greetings, all.

I wanted to let my fellow Commodore enthusiasts know about the launch of 
The Sidplayer Channel, an archive of Sidplayer music videos on YouTube.  
Sidplayer was a popular music system for the Commodore 64 and 128, authored 
by Craig Chamberlain and Harry Bratt and published by COMPUTE! Books.  In 
the 1980 and 1990s, over 13,000 Sidplayer tunes were produced and freely 
distributed on BBSes and online services such as Quantum Link.

The Sidplayer Channel presents high-definition videos of Sidplayer music 
recorded with Mark A. Dickenson's Stereo Player on an (emulated) C64.  Many 
of the tunes are in stereo (via a second SID chip), and many feature 
original PETSCII-art animations or sing-along lyrics.  It's my hope that 
this archive rekindles some interest in Sidplayer music, and introduces it 
to a new generation of music lovers who lack the know-how or inclination to 
get a real C64 or emulator up and running.

The Sidplayer Channel is available at the following URL:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC09nk830-OZlmrMJaMuNXKQ

There are currently a couple hundred videos available, organized into 
playlists according to the arranger and subject matter.  If you're new to 
Sidplayer music, try starting with the "Best of Sidplayer" or "Sidplayer 
extended words" playlists:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWbcROwcNW68VFRC5A2Jt3bhL-R1pM4cV

Further videos will be uploaded as they're produced; be sure to subscribe 
to the channel if you want to be notified of new releases.  And of course, 
feel free to leave me a message here or on the channel itself with requests 
for which Sidplayer tunes or artists you'd like to see added next.

Regards,
Tristan
