Dunno if anyone noticed (I know most folks use FLAC these days but I have about 600GBs of SHNs... :wacko:

Shorten.exe doesn't have any verify option. So I simulated it with "decode to NUL device and see if there's an error message". In other words: TLH decodes the shn file via shorten.exe but no decoded data will be written to your harddisk. Only error messages of shorten.exe will appear in the log window. If TLH reports that a corrupt shn file will decode properly there wasn't any error reported by shorten.exe during decoding.
