About SAP
Atari's 400, 800, XL and XE computers played their sound on POKEY, a chip of four voices with its own noise and filters. A SAP keeps a tune's 6502 code and data from a game or a demo, after a text header with its name, author, date and the songs it holds.
The Atari SAP Music Archive collects thousands of them, from games and the demo scene.
Filepeek runs the 6502 and POKEY in its own build of Game_Music_Emu inside your browser. A file of many songs opens like a folder, and the one you pick plays at once, then fades. Export saves it as MP3 or WAV.
