Am I blind or are there no SID modules? C64 is like 90% of tracked music that I'm listening to. :(

Yeah, it’s a bit strange omission.

Awesome. I didn't know my browser can play midi files. Firefox Developer 116 on macOS 13.4.1

The browser can play any sound so why not MIDI files. To be clear, the default implementation here is that this uses a soft synth (FluidSynth) compiled to wasm to render MIDI to waveform data - this is not how browsers classically played MIDI through the OS sequencer. It does also support sending out MIDI data to external devices though.

The MOD player seems to have some problems with the sequencing and tempo in a number of files on multiple browsers/devices.

The folder structure is such a mess that I thought it only does midi but I used the search bar and was amazed by the crisp SID rendition. Should add a filter toggle to remove all the midi spam.

I cannot find any SID music.

Same. Found a number of mods covers of C64 tracks, but not found a single sid.

Man, VGMusic.com was my Spotify in the 90's :) I don't know much about the MIDI format, but there was one song [1] that I used to love listening to on Windows 9x. I guess the file took advantage of some 9x quirk, because the orchestration is completely busted in modern Windows and macOS. I'm so happy because this site plays it just the way I remember it!

MIDI has no sound on its own, so it depends on the thing playing it. Windows' MIDI synthesis might have gotten worse, or you remember it on the particular sound card you had with 9x.

Here's a video I found of one of my favorite games sounding completely different from how I remember it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inn7IE6-wgY
