Re: Foobar2000 SHN > FLAC Conversion: A Visual Guide

But if you include a .wav .md5 or .st5 in all your seeds you can see that the audio data is exactly the same! Fixing SBEs is where it gets more complicated because there are so many different ways to fix them. No portable players or server type home players support SHN, but a lot of them support FLAC. I say everything should be converted to FLAC and be done with it. If there was a database, like db.etree.org, for all shows, you could access it any time and get the .wav .md5 or .st5 and verify that your set matches, then do a conversion following instructions provided on exactly how it was done. You convert using the same process they did so you get the same result. The TTH root won't match, though. But if everyone followed the same instructions for converting, and everyone converted, the TTH root WILL match. Just my 2 cents and opinion.
