Hi Friends!

Yup, I agree with Lavina. The demo has to be able to run on a C=16, so 
"sidtune converters" are out of question. That is exactly why I coded a music player for our demo, I posted two examples a few weeks ago. It demonstrates the capabilities - I think you can get decent sound out of it. 
It's small (<512 bytes) and fast (<16 rasterlines) If you like, I will give you the source, you just have to write the music.

No compressing?!? Where did that rule come from? I use a special compressor, 
it runs fine on any C=16, it NEVER references to any memory address above 
$3FFF. What's wrong with that?
