Looks like it's binary and you have to decompress it...

ok.

but u found a winamp plugin that will play them also. no decompressing for me

links off thsi page

I sit corrected then.

However, I don't know why anyone would want to keep .shn files around:

A shn file made from a wav is quite a bit larger than the corresponding mp3, with a size perhaps ~50-70% of the orginal wav.

cool also found something that will eaisily comvert them back into WAVs for easy CD burning

im working on getting the 3.5 gig torrent of "Jimi Hendrix - 51th anniversary The Story Of Life"

the compression is Loseless

Winamp 3 will play them with the proper plug in. I believe you need SHNAmp. Lots of .shn tools available at http://www.etree.org
