About SPC
The Super Nintendo played its music on a sound module of its own, Sony's SPC700 processor and a DSP with eight voices of sampled sound in 64 KB of memory. Emulators learned to save that module's whole state, and that snapshot is an SPC: one song, its samples and the code that plays it.
Its ID666 tag names the song, the game, the composer and who ripped it, with how long it plays and how long it fades.
Filepeek runs the SPC700 and the DSP in its own build of Game_Music_Emu inside your browser, for as long as the tag says, then fades. Show tags names the game, the composer and the dumper, and Export saves it as MP3 or WAV.

Questions
How do I play an SPC file?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek an SPC. It plays right away, for as long as its tag says.
Why does an SPC stop after a few minutes?
Its tag gives a length and a fade, and Filepeek plays it for that. An SPC with no length plays for up to 2 minutes 30 seconds and stops where it falls silent.
Can I turn an SPC into an MP3?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save as MP3 or WAV, and the song is saved as it plays here, fade included.
Is an .spc file always music?
No. Windows also names certificates that sign software .spc. Those open too, on a card of their certificates, by what is inside them.
