Re: Foobar2000 SHN > FLAC Conversion: A Visual Guide
99/100 times this is caused by addition data being embedded into the header of the .wav file. FLAC ignores and throws away non-audio data, so this header would dissappear during a WAV > FLAC > WAV transition. SHN does not trash this data, so the audio fingerprints will match even though the expanded .wav file is not identical to the one that created the initial shns.
You can run an shntool -len check on the .shn files, and it will tell if you there is additional data in the header, confirming this suspicion.
