how to tell which music editor

is there any possible way to check a tune to see which music editor it was composed in??

i ask because i have a tune but am able to listen to it as i dont know what editor it was composed in..

now i could check every editor known to mankind but this could take an extremely long time to find out...

so can i load the tune/.prg into some kind of editor to see if it says what it was composed in?? do editors when you save your tune to disk hold this kind of information??

thanks for the help

C64 native tools: Music Searcher and Advanced Music Searcher.
http://noname.c64.org/csdb/search/?seinsel=all&search=music+sea..

PC tools: sidid
SIDId V1.07

Also, if you can, check jsidplay2 (java sidplayer) which includes the code and definitions from sidid, so you play a .sid and at the same time you see the detected player.

I don't know.. but.. I think he asked for a tool that would detect the editor of a non-packed tune, whereas I *guess* that the tools mentioned here are for checking the editor of a packed tune (maybe even in playsid format).

@maestro: post the file and we'll see who recognizes the format first!

Okay... So the next question is whether sidid made a correct detection or not... ;)

According to the signatures, yes it is. If you find wrong signatures just find better ones and send them to Cadaver.
And btw, use option -a to check any files and not only .sid files.
