Amstrad Music Rips

[McKlain]

Soundtrakker does! 

That's not a pc tracker 

[TFM]

Sorry, me not using PC stuff...

Why play YM when I've carefully recorded 1600+ music directly from the CPC? There once was a CPC radio, but Grim doesn't seem interested in making it work again... Maybe someone who knows a bit about server/streaming could set up something ?


Don't forget that YM is not that simple to generate (what about samples, ripping music from demos, etc.).

It would be really cool just to have the whole lot available as a ZIP file, like a mini version of the HVSC!

There are about 400 songs from CPC demos in AYGOR (link)
and just a few from games. In the most of the demo music the playing time is undefined yet and no credits to the authors.
It will be always downloadable as one .zip file

All of the music is in the .ay format.
It is planned to develop this format to support even more than ZX & CPC music.
This format, with some minor updates, may support more machines with Z80+AY/YM onboard.
The hardware requirements (Z80, AY and interrupt frequency, output ports) will be defined in the file header.
That's why code rips (player routine + music data) are needed to play samples and other non-interrupt based sounds.

Hm that'd be an interesting thing to have on the wiki... I'm willing to implement it if someone can develop it

Maybe SHOUTcast could do this job. There's a freeware version. I never used Radio software though.

So now i have set up "Roland Radio" and run a smal test drive. Enjoy: Roland Radio | Amstrad CPC music & more
I will continue to add more informations, sounds, 8Bit-Pop, Interviews and Live-Shows right after Easter. First i need to party at the Revision 2015 in Saarbrücken! Hope to see a lot of you there.

Pictures of our radio station will appear on our homepage. You also can also follow us on facebook.

P.S.: A big thank you is going out to Targhan for his collection of Sounds.

I don't want to be too pessimistic here, but for me it's Yet Another CPC-Radio.

I remember many other streams with 24h CPC music, which disappeared quickly in the past...

CPCScene, PushNPop, etc...

But I hope you have fun and your stream will resist for years.

May the force of neverending traffic be with you ;-)

Oh, and PM me, if you like that I add your stream into JavaCPC's Desktop...

As we finally set up the station right after easter, i will inform you about the source.
at the moment we are testing software and hardware to work permanent with the filebase and streaming servers.
