With the custom built SID (Sound Interface Device) soundchip, many C64 games were also presented with stunning music, which due to the efforts of many people, can be replayed without loading an emulator and the specific game you wished to listen to. You can use these with either SIDPlay, or the SIDAmp plug in for WinAmp.
Here's a brief selection of (what I think to be) some of the best SID tunes I've heard on the C64. If you have problems trying to download them, make sure you hold down SHIFT while you click the file. Anyway, Enjoy them!
