SIDPlayer can also be used as an input plugin for CL-Amp by Claes Löfqvist. |
| 107 |

Simply copy the program to your CL-Amp "Plugins" directory (you have to copy |
| 108 |
< |
it, placing a link won't work) and rename it to "in_SIDPlayer". |

SIDPlayer currently only works as a command-line application. It is invoked |
| 111 |

as follows: |
| 112 |

|
| 113 |

sidplayer FILE [song_number] |
| 114 |

|
| 115 |

"FILE" is the name of the PSID file to be loaded. The optional "song_number" |
| 116 |
> |
specifies the number of the song to be player (instead of the default song). |
| 117 |
> |
SIDPlayer cannot detect when a song has finished, so you have to use Ctrl-C |
| 118 |
> |
to quit it. |
