When I needed to convert SHN files to FLAC, I discovered the free MKW converter which easily converts SHN to WAVE for FLAC Frontend input.

That is correct. I am able to convert the shn to mp3 along with the all the tags applied to it before converting. Works great!! Love this stuff.

Yes, but if you can read SHN files in MediaMonkey, you can convert them to MP3 in MediaMonkey.

In terms of converting SHN files, I think at one time I was doing the same thing and I used a program called "Monkey's Audio" (not MM) that let me convert from SHN to other formats. I think I was converting to FLAC although I had to really tweak the program to do that. It does easily convert from SHN to MP3 though. It's free and just a converter.

Very very cool.... I am very excited.

It did take a reboot before I could actually play the SHN format, so I was nervous for a moment.

MM rocks!!

Sorry for the extra post... kinda jumped the gun I guess.

I didn't find anything when I first search but I think I was too specific.. anyway I have a number of threads. Hopefully they can lead me through it. I'll post here if I have any problems... anyone with knowledge and suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks - Tucker

Hello....

I am a long time collector of live music and I have nearly a couple thousand shows and a lot of them are stored in a format called SHN, simular to FLAC... less popular now. Anyway I would like to to be able to one play SHN in MM and then also convert them to hq mp3. I believe and I could be wrong that SHN files won't hold tag information like FLAC and all the rest. I know winzip can play these files with a plugin and I know many winzip plugins will work with MM.

Anyway, I would love to start getting all my live stuff off storage cd and onto my machine so I can listen to it. Any direction or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I know that I can convert the SHNs to wav and then to mp3 but if I could take out that step I would overcome with joy.

Anyway, thank you and thank you to the MM people too. I've been using it for over nine months now and I couldn't be happier with it.

Thanks,

Tucker
