> To be honest, as I am looking at the current PSID v2NG/RSID file format spec, that can satisfy all of these requirements simply by bumping up the version number to 0x0003 and changing the dataOffset as needed. In other words, keep all the current fixed RSID fields, but in version 3 let the dataOffset be dynamic (per SID file) so the header can incorporate new variable-sized fields like STIL text, per tune info (e.g. songlengths) and the like. No need to re-invent the wheel, we just add to it. Whaddaya think?

I was thinking exactly the same, LaLa. Flexible offset sounds cool. And probably 
also the least hassle if people are converting player applications. And 
incidentially this is just what Wilfred suggested a year or two ago when we 
already had this discussion for a short while.
