What is a SHN file?
SHN, or Shorten, is a lossless audio compression format developed in the late 1990s. It was one of the earliest formats to allow users to archive audio without quality loss, making it popular in live music trading communities.
Although largely replaced by more efficient formats like FLAC, SHN is still found in older bootlegs, concert recordings, and audio archives. Conversion to FLAC is often necessary for modern playback.
How to open SHN files
SHN files can be opened with Foobar2000 (with plugin), Winamp (with SHN plugin), and legacy tools like mkwACT or Trader's Little Helper.
To convert SHN to FLAC or MP3, AnyConv can simplify the process directly in your browser.
