Sid player for Linux
As I am an user of Ubuntu based distro, I would like to know any app to play sid files. Which app do you recommend me? I wanted give a try Xsidplay2 but I can download just rpm package. Unfortunately I can not find deb pack... |

If you get Ubuntu Restricted Extras you can play .sid's in Movie Player by double clicking them. Unfortunately it doesn't display meta info. |

uw, that would use libsidplay from ca 1942 though =P (and it works in a lot of mediaplayer thingies if you have libsidplay and the respective plugins, eg amarok or xmms) |

I use jsidplay2 on Linux. Has a nice gui - but needs a lot of cpu-power. |

I am surprised but I have noticed it works under Audacious but I must confess I can not rememeber if I installed a plugin for playing sids. Could it be possible it can play automatically without installing plugin?
About vsid. Unfortunately there is no possibility to run RANDR so I am not able to work with Vice at all. My notebook is VIA based and there are big issues with installing VIAChrome9 HC driver with RANDR enabled. So vsid won't work... :( |

Greopaz: yes you are right I have installed libsidplay although I dont know if it came with audacious or I installed it when I was trying to solve this problem. |

gpz: Looks like an updated gstreamer-plugin 'siddec' using sidplay2 would be needed? |

Orcan: it depends on your distro... i think the "big" ones have it installed always (if you install something like xmms or audacious)
Ninja: something that uses the resid code from vice would be nice indeed ;) libsidplay2 is like 10 years old or something =P |

Hmm, looks to me that a super-duper sidplayer should in deed be based on VICE; yet the first choice for a gstreamer plugin would be libsidplayfp these days. |

It might not be for you, but for some reason i quite like the good old sidplay2w.exe for Windows. I've been using it for many years under Linux as well using Wine. Works for me.
