- Please note that I take no responsibilities for the use of
- this program considering any damage to or failure of your
- hardware, software etc.
-
- NOTE:
-
- To gain advantage at all from this program, your PlaySID
- musics should first be converted to one-file format.
-
- To do this you should use SidConvert, (C) Per Håkan Sundell &
- Ron Birk (the creators of PlaySID).
- SidConvert is included in the PlaySID2.2 archive, which is
- included in this package.

- What is PSIDExtract ?
-
- I have 1000+ pieces of C64 PlaySID musics, and I had to get
- some order in things, and generally make my life easier.
- So I wrote a program that extract the information from
- 1-parted PlaySID musics, and delivers it as a general
- Dbase-file. Why ?, well now I can select my PlaySID music
- from SuperBase Pro 4 !, great eh!?
-
-
- Example of extract:
-
- A) "1","Airwolf","Neil A Bate","1985 Elite","SID:A-C/Airwolf"
- B) "5","Army Moves","Fred Gray","1987 Imagine","SID:A-C/ArmyMoves"
- C) "2","Chimera","Rob Hubbard","1986 Firebird","SID:A-C/Chimera"
-
-
- How do I use PSIDExtract ?
-
- Simply type: PSIDExtract <PlaySidFile>
- this will output to the screen; instead you might want to:
-
- PSIDExtract <PlaySidFile> >>TMP:PlaySidMusic.lst
-
- Now, you can build up a complete list of all you music, and
- then import this list to a database like SuperBase Pro 4.
-
-
-
- Errors and limitations ?
-
- You can't extract from files that are located in Ram: ,
- PSIDExtract is written in Pascal, and for some reason unknown
- to me, a runtime error occurs if it attempts to read from Ram:
-
- You must enter the full path for <PlaySidFile>, and you can
- only enter one at a time.
- So to make your life easier, make a script to handle all your
- music; or use Directory Opus (Button/Do all files).
-
- This lack of flexibility will be corrected as soon as I know
- how to implement full wildcard options!
-
-
- Final words:
-
- Thanks to Per Håkan Sundell & Ron Birk for creating PlaySID.
-
- Well, this pretty much covers it; if you have any questions
- or ideas for new utilities, please write to me.
