Inside TSID

TSID is an attempt to answer to a question: who is your best sid author or tune of the HVSC?
I think that it can be found by looking at what you had listen until now from your sid player.

So, TSID is composed by two parts:

1. A library to be applied (with patch) to your sid player.
   This library records all your listen time and number of listen of one tune in HVSC when you listen it. Some care is taken for make this operation not notable in normal use of a sid player (using buffer techniques).
     The recorded information are stored in a hidden directory that grown to become with the same HVSC structure. This allow to use a castom Update.thvs files for updating the TSID stored information to be consistence with HVSC Updatexx.hvs upgrades.
2. A standalone program.
   This program is for extracting the stored information and for producing lists of sorted tunes matching some characteristics:
   1. number of listen seconds for each tune
   2. number of listen of one tune
   3. a pondered that will say who is the best

   The available lists are:

   1. sub tunes
   2. tune (as a HVSC file)
   3. author (as a HVSC directory)

However TSID is being develop, so see the next page for more info.

Now a new library is being develop for the TSID project (so the TSID2 name). This library will be totally based onto MD5 fingerprinter, and will support lot of music collections. It has lot of advantages over the actually library. You can learn more by looking to the public forum at the Sourceforge TSID page
