One thing that I would love to see is somebody taking the initiative to make
music files (aka RIPs) of Turbo games, like the .NSF music format that was
started last year for NES/Famicom games.  As some of you might know, I was a
big backer of the NSF format, because I had always wanted to be able to listen
to music from my favourite NES games.

I'd imagine that making music rips from Turbo/PCE games would be quite similar
to the NSF or SID formats.  Unfortunately, I don't know 6820 assembly or the
PCE's memory map, so I can't start with this right now.  What do you guys
think?  Is making music rips just piracy?  Can it be discussed here?  I, for
one, would love to be able to listen to all the great music from all those
Turbo games on my computer at anytime.

Any comments about this?
