Welcome to the pages of the biggest and only official Atari XL/XE music archive. Many of you have surely missed those great square-wave sounds and noises, that often belonged to your childhood :-) The archive you will find here contains almost 2200 songs (this number rises - see the diagram below) including both old-time and new-wave tunes from the early 80's till the latest 2006 contributions.

Ever since the birth of the Atari ST, different chip music formats have had different ways to use them. If you are coding a chip music player for the Atari ST you would have to use dozens and dozens of special ways to replay music. But in the mid 90's, BDC of Aura crew became tired of this inelegant system and decided to fix the issue once and for all. He then created the 'SNDH' file format. SNDH is actually the original songfile and replaycode with a header bolted on top of the music and replayer. The header has a unified calling interface no matter what type of chip music is hidden beneath it, and it has extended datas about the music.

hello chiptune lovers ! there are 2814 tunes online, all are carefully selected by me. i've only chosen the best tunes from each authors, to do a big & stupid archive isn't my aim ! you can mail me some chiptunes {no size limit} or flame me because i haven't selected your favourite song !

There are sites with demos, and sites with module (MOD) music, but no sites really combining the two. Furthermore, I collect demos, and I like music, so it follows that I like collecting music from demos. "Demo music", in the traditional sense, has a unique feel to it. Energetic, yet warm and familiar (some dare call it "cheezy" :). Here you can find soundtracks to all sorts of demos, in the original module format. Unofficial site motto: If you can't see a demo, then at least you can still hear it!

The High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) is a freeware hobby project which organises Commodore 64 music (also known as SID music) into an archive for both musicians and fans alike.

Impulse Tracker is a revolutionary new music tracker under development in South Australia by Jeffrey Lim (Pulse/PoP).

It even allows searching the instrument texts of some music formats.

Site's main purposes have always been, are and will be: 1. To collect the best modules ever made and 2. To create place, where every tracker musician could easily insert his/her tunes
