		SHN is currently in the design phase of the ozone-sparge system with construction slated to begin in the summer of 2004.
		SHN further suggested that rushing into an interim corrective action program near the creek could be an uncertain process with limited potential for contaminant reduction.
		SHN is also reviewing the existing owner’s response to a spill and subsequent remedial activities, which occurred after Tosco/Unocal ownership, and recently proposed preparing an exit strategy for ConocoPhillips from the site.

		SHN is a file extension (like.doc,.wav, etc.) used for a compressed WAV file.
		We later found that trading SHN s would be much better at preserving the quality of the recording over time and trades because many people with burners who can not do perfect DAE (digital audio extraction) start to introduce pops and clicks through the lineage.
		SHN files that were made with a version of shorten prior to v3 do not, and are not seekable in the new SHN amp.

		By trading SHN s, each person not only has a backup of the entire show (on less discs) that they can uncompress later if need be, but they also know the quality is much more "insured" than if they were to trade audio "red book" CDs.
		SHN tool is useful for finding these errors, and is able to repair poorly tracked files.
		SHN files made with v3 or later of shorten are automatically appended with seek tables.

		shn and flac are commonly used for distribution of high-quality live recordings of "trade friendly" bands.
		shn files which do not look like sometextdXtYY.shn where X is the disc number and YY is the track number may cause trouble.
		Some variations of this are handled correctly, but seemingly simple things, like shns with the actual song names in the file name may not work.

	SHN tutorial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		If you intend to play SHN files, though (there's a Winamp plug-in called shnAmp available from www.etree.org), it might be a good idea to append a seek table onto the compressed file, so you can fast forward and rewind while playing the shn file.
		Since shns are large files, they can get corrupted more easily than smaller files during data transfer or during data CD burning.
		A SHN file copied without glitches should always be identical to its parent SHN, and have the same checksum "fingerprint", meaning the md5 verification will report no errors.

	A Small .SHN and .MD5 FAQ
		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.
		A shn file copied without glitches should always be identical to its parent shn, and have the same checksum "fingerprint".
		The shn may have been corrupted at the time it was compressed from wav.

		The biggest benefit of SHN is that it uses lossless compression, which means no data is lost when it is compressed.
		SHN files are popular with people who collect recordings of live performances because these people will know what they are getting.
		SHN files can be copied and passed around endlessly and still maintain the same quality as the original.

	Interactive Fly, Drosophila
		The absence of shn activity results in defects that are similar in nature and severity to those caused by elimination of Mad, suggesting that Shn has an essential role in dpp signal transduction in the developing wing.
		Abolition of shn or Mad activity results in upregulation of brk in the embryo and in the absence of shn ectopic Dpp cannot suppress brk expression.
		The near wild-type expression of class B genes in double mutant embryos suggests that the brk-independent input from shn may be crucial at the margins of the expression domains and may be less significant in regions of the embryo that receive moderate to high levels of Dpp signaling.

	Travis Rocco Band - SHN FAQ
		An SHN file is a Shorten file; a lossless compression scheme devised and optimized for music.
		SHN files may be decompressed to WAV and burned to an audio CD.
		Burning SHN files to data CDs, rather than burning audio CDs is gaining popularity, as the file sizes are smaller with SHN, taking less CDs to burn a complete show.

	Hydrogenaudio Forums -> The Deal With SHN
		As far as I have learned through use and reading, SHN is slower on the encode and decode, inferior at compression, has no standalone hardware support, and is unseekable (without appending seek info), compared to FLAC, for example.
		SHN isn't such a bad format, but it seems a little out dated now.
		I think SHN is mostly continuing on momentum. It doesn't really offer anything that other codecs don't, although it does have some use for the times you need a really fast encoder to get some temporary compression.

	Ben Harper SHN Tree & Database - SHN FAQs
		To draw a useful analogy, md5 checks are analogous to "fingerprints"; while, the SHN is analogous to the person whose fingerprints they are.
		Well, SHN files act as archives, and if you store your SHNs (like I do) in cases and put them away, then you'll always be able to return to the SHN archived shows and just burn another copy of the show on Audio.
		All you need to do is download the tiny file to the folder where your SHN files are for that show, and click on the check to see if they do verify or not.

		SHN was developed to compress audio files while having a way of verifying that copies are digitally exact.
		SHN rather was intended to be an archival format for digital music.
		Anecdotally speaking, SHN files seem to produce files that are between 50 and 65 percent of the original size.

		shns in circulation and find the show you have, and match up the sources, then you can check your md5 file against the one they have arcived to make sure you have a guaranteed original fileset.
		If the show doesnt exist in the database then you just have to go on heart, and hope that you found an honest trader and not someone who either didnt know what they were doing (the purpose of this page is to cut down on them) or someone who just wanted to rip you off.

	shn tree FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		By treeing shn files, we avoid any potential Digital Audio Extraction errors, avoid the risk of someone inadvertently burning cdr's for others with gaps between tracks, and are provided with a simple method of error checking.
		Once you've confirmed the integrity of your shn's, there are two methods you can use to pass them along to your leaves: sending snail mail cdr's, or transferring the files online, via ftp or a similar protocol.
		We will try to include structures in our shn trees to support a certain number of branches who receive shn cdr's but burn audio cdr's for those without burners of their own.

		SHN allows the use of hash files to confirm that it is an exact copy of the overall file using the MD5 digest.
		MD5 files are usually distributed with SHN files.
		While SHN is a better compression for WAV files, resulting in smaller files, they not require the download/install of new software and can also confirm file quality.

		It serves as a fingerprint and can be used to quickly sort through the corresponding shns to make sure that no errors have taken place.
		--if you get a shn disc from a vine, transfer it to your hard drive, then check the md5 before burning anything or decoding the shns.
		this is what happens when a screwed up shn gets decoded----all silence from the point at which an error occurs.

		SHN is the file extension for SHORTEN, a lossless compression format for audio files.
		Without getting into technical details, SHN compresses WAV files into a smaller file without losing any of the sound quality.
		But, if you want to burn an audio CD from a SHN file, you’ll need to convert the file to WAV first.

	.shn format (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		.shn is a LOSSLESS audio compression format (unlike mp3) so no matter how many times you encode/decode a.shn file it will always be the same as the file originally encoded.
		.shn files are DATA files (as opposed to audio) so discs containing them are burnt as data discs (using whatever software you prefer).
		.shn files are data files so artwork/info files etc can also be included on the disc.

		Shorten®; (.shn) is an audio compression scheme that is used to compress audio (.wav) files losslessly.
		The first file (.shn) is your input file, the last file (.wav) is your output file.
		You will have to repeat this process for each SHN file in the directory, unless you are using the etree.org batch files.

		Shorten version 3 (SHN v3) allows Shorten users the ability to "audition" SHN files by jumping to different parts of the file using the slider control in Winamp (Windows users), or XMMS (Linux users).
		Seeders that encode new shows with the SHN v3 tools will have seek data automatically embedded into the SHN file by default.
		Remember, SHN v3 (with or without the.skt files) will always be 100% backward compatible.

	Tadream Tree SHN Guide
		SHN is a lossless compression format, meaning that not one bit of sound quality is lost in the conversion.
		SHN is widely used with great success on other Trees as people exchange concerts by different artists.
		The alternative to SHN, simply trusting each set of discs as it makes its way in and out of 7-8 computers before it gets to the lowest branches, is unacceptable to me. I believe the problems we have had with SHN have been caused by trusting the discs we get and using marginal blank CD-Rs.

		Over the last 20 years that U2 have been a band, they have always thrived on their live concerts, and their enjoyment of playing during the shows.
		SHN makes it possible to reduce audio-files up to 50% of their original size without any quality loss (unlike MP3 or RealMedia) and to provide at the same time a verifying number.

		I have bootlegs, but I can't say with certainty what the source for most of them were, so I don't want to trade those for fear of being fllisted.
		Usually I like to point people to the taper notes (all shns should come with a text file/taper notes) so they know exactly what the source is for the show.
		SHN sourced discs should be fine to trade.

	Magical Jelly Bean Software - Magical Jelly Bean SHN Shortener v1.03 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The Magical Jelly Bean SHN Shortener is a freeware utility for easily converting those enormous SHN and FLAC files to smaller MP3 or OGG Vorbis files.
		With the SHN Shortener you can customize your settings (default is 192bps, stereo), add ID3 tags, rename your files on the fly (using the ID3 tags), and even delete those old files all in 4 easy steps.
		Be wary, MP3 and OGG are not replacements for lossless audio like SHN and FLAC, but simply a reasonable alternative to those of us who don't hear a difference and can't see a reason to keep those enormous files.

	Archived SHN shows
		For those of you that are unfamiliar with shn, shn is a wav file compression technique that in my opinion is far superior to mp3.
		Shn files can be decompressed back to wav files and no difference will be experienced between the original cd (wav) file and the compressed/decompressed file.
		Due to the sound loss of mp3 files, I am NOT interested in ANY shows that have been or are currently in the mp3 format.

		Prepare for the wrath of the SHN audiophile nazis, who insist that an SHN should never be converted to an MP3 for fear of the inferior-quality copy infecting the world.
		People want to convert shn to mp3 because shn sucks they take up massive amounts of disk space they are difficult to listen to and burn to cds and are a general pain in the ass.
		Traders are the whole problem with sharing music they hoard their collections only accepting trades and then bitch and moan about converting shn to mp3s or converting anything to mp3s get a damn life.
