Thanks for all the help on the Stereo Sid Player.  After reading all the   
replies in this area, and playing arround with the program for the past
week, I have come up with a lot of information.  The point about the .STR
files is the most important.  For a while there, I thought it was going
to be pretty hard to get my hands on these exclusive files.  I run once of
the largest commodore BBS systems in my state, and I have tons of mus files
but only a hand full of .STR files.  Thanks to this newgroup, I was led to
milton, where I found over 50 .STR files.  But this leads me to another
question!!
 
Anyone found a good way to batch trasfer files from a unix system to a
commodore?  The closest thing I have found to get the job done is
using the protocol Ymodem Batch.  My problem is that the ymodem on my
commodore 128 expects the host to send the start signal, and the ymodem
on the unix system wants the client to send the start signal!!  So they
both just sit there and time out.

Well, despite this little problem, I can indeed Ymodem batch, but I have to
intervieen and do things to the the transfer running.  My silly term program
acutally lets me do Ymodem -Singel file trasfer.  I realize that may sound
like a contrdiction in terms, but it works!  It asks me for the file name
and type.  I enter it, it then send the start signal, gets the file (with
file name--but ignors the recived file name and uses mine instead) and
saves it error free.  When its done with that file, it returns me to 
terminal mode, but Ymodem Batch is still running, waitting for that
start signal to send the 2nd file.  So, I jump right back to file transfer
mode, enter a new file name, and type, and there it goes!!
