flac format: shnsplit -P face -o flac -t "%p - %n - %t" -f "file.cue" "file.shn" There are also various GUI programs which can be used, like SoundConverter shn files in the current directory to FLAC on Linux: for f in *.shn do ffmpeg -i "$f" "$" done All libavcodec based players and converters support the Shorten codec.Ĭurrent versions of ffmpeg or avconv support the shorten format. Some Rockbox applications can play Shorten files without decompression, and third-party Shorten plug-ins exist for Nero Burning ROM, Foobar2000, and Winamp. Since few players or media writers attempt to decompress Shorten files, a standalone decompression program is usually required to convert to a different file format that those applications can handle.
However, Shorten is still in use by some people because there are legally traded concert recordings in circulation that are encoded as Shorten files. Shorten is no longer developed and other lossless audio codecs such as FLAC, Monkey's Audio (APE), TTA, and WavPack (WV) have become more popular. It is a form of data compression of files and is used to losslessly compress CD-quality audio files (44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo PCM). Shorten (SHN) is a file format used for compressing audio data. Shntool : + this file may be unsupported, truncated or corrupt Shntool : + verify that the decoder is installed and in your PATH Shntool : + arguments may be incorrect for decoder: Shntool : + you may not have permission to read file: When you get this error: shntool : warning: : A lot of the old information out there points to getting the codec from and compiling it, but those links are dead and shorten is no longer being developed (see rationale below). Since I can't find the answer here and I would like to be able to do so the next time I need to do this, here is how to convert shorten (.shn) audio files to another format that ffmpeg can handle (e.g., flac, wav).
