+Emulator library selection recommendations
+==========================================
+Some words on which emulation library you should choose to install
+and use - it depends somewhat on your system and personal preferences.
+
+- libSIDPlay v1: This is the old SIDPlay v1 emulation library. Its
+  emulation is "frame-based" and not very accurate. The waveforms
+  produced are harsher and emulation of SID filter is far from
+  accurate.
+
+  libSIDPlay v1 requires very little CPU power, it is faster and
+  may have fewer bugs due to being more mature software. Many
+  OS distributions have pre-built packages of it, not something that
+  can be said of libSIDPlay v2. Some people may even like the
+  harsher sound produced by libSIDPlay v1.
 
+  Drawbacks are: worse emulation, eventually weakening compability
+  as new SID-tunes/files are ripped into "RSID"-format which
+  libSIDPlay v1 does NOT support.
+
+
+- libSIDPlay v2: New, next generation modular SID-emulation framework.
+  Along with reSID-library it produces probably most accurate emulated
+  representation of SID-chip available. This, however, comes at high
+  cost: libSIDPlay2 tends to eat CPU like popcorn, depending on the
+  selected emulation options. It is also less spread, not as many
+  distributions/operating systems come with pre-packaged libSIDPlay2,
+  so you may have to roll your own.
+
+  Also the API-stability of libSIDPlay2 is not yet 100%, there may
+  be changes. Bugs are evident, though many of them will be fixed
+  eventually.
+
+  
+Conclusion thus is as follows: If you are using an old system with not
+much spare CPU-power, choose libSIDPlay v1. On a relatively recent
+system (more powerful than Pentium III 500MHz) you may wish to choose
+libSIDPlay v2, although your mileage may vary.
