FX3 [0] is one of my fav albums from Virt, but I don't think he ever released the source? If I get it right it was composed as .nsf files too. I saw there was a MIDI file for at least one of the songs (Choppastyle [1][2]), so maybe there's a chance to get the rest of them from somewhere? I'd love to hear a version with modern synth instruments to compare and contrast (although my dream is for a cover of the whole album by www.paulgilbert.com and friends hahah). NOTE: the redirect from links like [2] is a bit jarring, it would feel more natural if the URL remained (instead of the redirect to [3]). It would also make it easier to share a specific song by just copying the URL. -- 0: https://virt.bandcamp.com/album/fx3-remastered https://virt.bandcamp.com/album/fx3-remastered 1: https://virt.bandcamp.com/track/choppastyle https://virt.bandcamp.com/track/choppastyle 2: https://chiptune.app/?play=Contemporary%2FVirt%2Fv-choppastyle.mid https://chiptune.app/?play=Contemporary%2FVirt%2Fv-choppasty... 3: https://chiptune.app/browse/Contemporary/Virt https://chiptune.app/browse/Contemporary/Virt

I had a rationale for this redirect behavior, but not sure it matches user expectations. The URL will reflect the browse location, but not the playing track...otherwise the URL gets too clunky. You can always copy the playing track from the link icon.

  Not sure what you mean but I'm sure you have your reasons! If it was me, I would change it to something like: * https://chiptune.app/browse/Contemporary/Virt https://chiptune.app/browse/Contemporary/Virt ... opens the browse folder, as it does now. * https://chiptune.app/browse/Contemporary/Virt/v-choppastyle.mid https://chiptune.app/browse/Contemporary/Virt/v-choppastyle.... ... opens the browse folder _AND_ focus/selects the given track. Of course, neither one should play anything by default, but! I would put the play controls on the top of the page, and make the play button bigger and more prominent. It took me a while to find the tiny triangle in the bottom left of the page. My 2 cents. Awesome project btw! :-)
