This blog post contains the later AdLib music from 1993-94 by Thomas Mogensen, Jesper Olsen, Torben Hansen and Morten Sigaard Kristensen. Most of it was composed in EdLib, an editor I wrote that used the same track editing system as my Commodore 64 editor.
In addition to composing a few test tunes in EdLib, Jesper Olsen also wrote his very own AdLib player and composed tunes for it in an assembler listing. These tunes are also included below.
You won’t need an emulator plugin to play the tunes – they have all been saved as MP3 for easy listening.

Jesper Olsen (JO) in EdLib
Jesper Olsen (JO) in his own AdLib player
Torben Hansen (Metal)
Morten Sigaard Kristensen (MSK)
Most of the AdLib tunes have been saved as MP3 using the Ganbatte! .D00 Player plugin v1.1 for XMPlay 3.8.2 with the LAME encoder installed and then normalized in Audacity. A few here and there have been recorded in DOSBox. The MP3 files for JO’s own AdLib player were taken from the defunct Vibrants web site.
So who composed Fis3? That one is missing too!
That tune can be found as “Highscore” in the bottom bonus section of Lollypop AdLib Music.
A Masterpiece!!! Love love love!
Great! So many songs I only knew as C64 versions, like “Supernova” and “Flash” (aka “Why not (why me)”) and “Breaking Wind” and “Street Wise”, thank you so much!
Thank you for the files. I was looking for these FM masterpieces recently, and now I can get them all without installing emulators!
I love your work and music! Was wondering if there is an edlib version were I could use external keyboard not only to play instruments, but to record music. How did you guys do it back then?
No, I never got around to adding MIDI support. We just typed it in.
