SHN -> FLAC conversion ; a little help

Alright so i am in the hospital with a broken leg. I got nothing to do really for the next 1~ 1/2 month. My folks brought in my desktop so i can sit while i play Skyrim.

I was honestly contemplating of making use of the time by converting my Phish SHN's to FLAC.

Why am i converting my SHN's to FLAC? Because i am anal about my Phish and i hate looking at the txt to see while song is next. plus i installed rockbox on my ipod so i can use the new flac files on it

Right now this is the method i am going to be using

SHN files -> Convert to WAV using Traders Little helper -> Create WAV MD5 of the files (according to disc or whole ; depending on how the number of md5 in the original shn) --> Convert to FLAC via Traders Little helper ( with a Flac Fingerprint ; and then Tag the files) and then do a Bitcompare on Foobar2k

So all in all i will have a WAV MD5 Checksum , a FFP file and also i will include the old SHN MD5's in a separate folder ( titled Old SHN Checksums) and also in the txt files i will include the changes.

For example : a while ago i converted this show From SHN -> WAV -> FLAC

This show right here --> http://db.etree.org/shn/14166

So apparently i fixed the SBE on the 3rd disc and included the following changes in the TXT as follows

Show as received was 48kHz for the first set, d1t1 to d2t4 (verified with etree
listed md5s). Set 1 resample: SHN > MKW > 48kHz WAV > Cooledit 2000 (44.1kHz WAV
at 999 setting w pre/post filter) > shntool > MKW > SHN. New files labeled 'fixed'.
Bill Mitchell [email protected] > WAV ( fixed d3t01 to d3t06 ; new files labelled as "fixed" and added new md5 files for each disc) > FLAC lvl 8 (via TLH and added new ffp file along with tags)

Also included the original SHN MD5 Files..

Is this acceptable?

Also how does one fix SBE's on TLH? My settings are on

Mode : Fix , Action : Shift Backward and there is "Pad Last File with Zero-bytes" is checked.

Let me know!
