Seems to be Missing my favorite - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9STiQ8cCIo0 ("Unreal Super Hero 3" by Kenet & Rez)

You'll find it here: https://chiptune.app/?play=FwwaT5Rc

As mentioned in other comments, chiptune.app seems to be a better project and has been maintained for years (https://github.com/mmontag/chip-player-js).

Horribly coded site but a cool collection of music, only wish I had access to the original collection because I know without a doubt that they just downloaded those mp3s from someone else’s site.

Note that there are no mp3 files at all. It's a player for module files (e.g. .mod, .xm, etc.)

If you'd like to download module files, https://modarchive.org is a good reference.

> Preserving the digital underground's musical legacy

The entire page has clearly been completely AI-generated in one shot and serves no value. I doubt the author even read much of the code before hitting publish - look at the comments in the HTML:

lol.

It struggles to even run on my laptop with the amount of crap Gemini has put into it - 30KB of minified JS and another 30 of the horrible CSS. This is a snot-filled spit in the face of musicians whose TLD is being polluted with this, and whose music this vibecoder stole. The gall to have a copyright sign at the bottom is despicable.

Not that I've looked into it much, but a thought just occurred to me. Why don't we use AI to generate lofi samples for tracker music? Why aren't there trackers with that feature bolted on? I should be able to search for bespoke and unique sounds out of thin air. Surely that should be a very modest goal to achieve? (re: downvotes... I say "AI" as a synthesis method, not as a way to interfere with the creative process,…

You can't mention "AI" and music together without a negative response. I think entrenched business interests as well as musicians and other music industry adjacent people, plus the well intentioned but poorly informed public have developed a visceral knee jerk reaction to the concept. Some of this is understandable, but I think it is mostly fueled by astroturfing. I am a musician as well as a technology enthusiast, a…

I really like to prompt music models with random gibberish with some unhinged prompts and expect some other world-y results.

Bah, the user interface and design is horrible to navigate in, which just made me sad. Try to paginate, music stops etc. If you created this, spend some more effort in user testing before sharing if you want users to have a good experience. My 2 cents.

> if you created this

Did not. https://keygenmusic.tk/ was better. Makes me wonder if slop will eventually lead to curation or if the canonical bests will continue to be buried in it.
