shn - lossless compressed wav file format. Xmms will play them with a
plugin, or a tool called shorten translates between shn and wav.

I've seen a MDK 9.0 package of shorten, but I think the licence means it
won't be in the default distro (the licence is 'free for non-commercial
use' rather than free as in fries, sorry freedom).

Hi

I downloaded and compiled the atest version but it does funny things when I use it.

Pity they can't write a nice GUI like there is for windows that you just drag and drop 
the files into and they get converted to wav in a folder on the drive.

Can't be too hard to do surely?

Anyway I decided the music was not worth me going to the effort of booting windows and 
having it crash 3 times to get them converted so I binned them.
