    I've got your answer for you, but it took some   
   effort. After checking that the installation on my DOS laptop   
   was playing SIDs fine, I decided to give sidsetup.exe a test   
   run. It turns out that it deletes the old sidplay.cfg file   
   even if you cancel the set-up though, so I then had to run it   
   again to set up the sound card. And then the SID files would   
   no longer appear in the file selector!   
      
   After a lot of fiddling with the sidplay.cfg file to work   
   out what change I'd obviously made to it in the past in order   
   to make it work, I finally figured it out:   
      
   Change the line:   
   DAT_ext = .DAT   
   to:   
   DAT_ext = .SID   
      
   The manual sort of hints at this by saying that it supports   
   ".DAT + .SID" files, but it took a long time for that to   
   sink in!   
      
   To be safe, I renamed "sidsetup.exe" "sidsetup.xxx" to   
   encourage me to think twice before sabotaging myself again.   
      
   SidPlay for DOS doesn't seem to support specifying files on   
   the command line like the Linux ones do.   
      
      
   P. S. VACSID seems to have the same probem, even with the   
   SID extension seemingly correctly set in its ".INI" file.   
   I don't know the cause of this one.   
      
   Open Cubic Player works well, but I spent some time   
   setting up the config file for that a long time ago.
