450GB of Amiga music! Big ode to Paula chip, which remained unchanged over all Amiga models! Respected work, verry verry nice video, could be used for SAM EP460 / Amiga x1000 promo with different text ;-))))

Much love from Serbia!

@vojinvidanovic79 Hehe, I totally agree!

[8bitfan]

It's amazing! Nice vid & great project :)

btw..

Couldn't be easier to use AmigaOne-XE to do the same job?

[StoneOakvalley]

Thank you! I think its just as easy with a regular A1200. Just a serial cable and arexx script, very simple :)

@StoneOakvalley

Good. Hope to see that 450GB or best portion of it, on the web download / tubes / music compils.

It might sound too chip nowadays, but compared to pre-Sound Blaster 16 sounds it was a simphony!

Now, its good that AmigaOS 4 lives even as of 2011 and that love for the Miggy has not died, too!

[Turrican0815]

You made a dream come true! Unbelievable. =)

[NotQuarex]

You are amazing. You are actually doing the thing that every demoscene person/fan has contemplated at some point but decided would be impossible!

[LekkerFilmen]

Damn, Im shocked. Im listening to chiptune many hours every day since 3 years or so. I was looking for more tunes I havent heard yet. How am I supposed to download 550 GB of Amiga tunes? And how am I supposed to listen to them? Even if I can 'process' 6 hours of Amiga tunes every day Ill need more then two years :(

Someone has to make a bundle using only the best tunes, lets say 10 GB?

Thank you Stone Oakvalley, I will never forget what you have done! :)
