Hi folks,

Here is the shntool -len output from a shn set (md5 check ok) decoded to wav with mkwACT:

Yowza!

Can someone out there assist? There's lots of great threads here about SBEs & such, but nothing with errors of this magnitude. Etree forum searches yield little. The shntool readme & help are great, but

-strip & -fix modes give "may be truncated" errors.

I ran a shntool info, the text file of whch is too large to attach to this message, so here is an excerpt:

file name: Track 04.wav
handled by: wav format module
length: 4:05.60
WAVE format: 0x0001 (Microsoft PCM)
channels: 2
bits/sample: 16
samples/sec: 44100
average bytes/sec: 176400
rate (calculated): 176400
block align: 4
header size: 44 bytes
data size: 43359119 bytes
chunk size: 43359163 bytes
total size (chunk size + 8): 43359171 bytes
actual file size: 43359164
file is compressed: no
compression ratio: 1.0000
CD-quality properties:
CD quality: yes
cut on sector boundary: no
sector misalignment: 2351 bytes
long enough to be burned: yes
WAVE properties:
non-canonical header: no
extra RIFF chunks: yes (7 or 8 bytes)
Possible problems:
file contains ID3v2 tag: no
data chunk block-aligned: no
inconsistent header: no
file probably truncated: yes (missing 7 bytes)
junk appended to file: no
odd data size has pad byte: unknown

All of the wavs have similar data.

This is confusing to me - the info suggests there are extra RIFF chunks but that there is also some missing...

-pad mode results in tracks being skipped because "warning: tried to read 7 bytes, but only read 1 - possible truncated/corrupt file."

Sorry for the length of this post. How does one go about fixing the block alignment as well? Or are the shns trash? They listen OK <grin>

thanks in advance!
