Doubtful man. Part of this being a forum is that people reply by posting, not my e-mail, but you may get lucky and some kind soul will help.

He's got a Hotmail address also, a real sign of a stable individual with ties to the community Sorry, quiffboy123, I couldn't resist. My best advice is to do a search on, say, GOOGLE for those terms.

Isn't a SHN file for audio? I used to get a lot of legal live recordings (DMB, Dead, Phish, WSP, etc.) off of FurtherNet and they had a lot of stuff in SHN formats I believe.

Not always illegal, you know, but I see why he got the reaction he did.

CUE

The .BIN / .CUE CD image format was made popular by the CDRWin software. Afterwards many programs have started supporting or partially supporting it, including: Nero, BlindWrite, CloneCD, FireBurner, vcdimager and cdrdao. The .CUE file contains VCD or SVCD or other data track layout information.

SHN

SHN is a file format. SHN is short for "shorten". SHN files are compressed ("shortened") WAV files. SHN uses a lossless compression method.

SKT

A .skt file is Shorten seek data.

Shorten seek data can either be embedded inside a Shorten file, or "live" outside the Shorten file. A .skt file is seek data that happens to "live" outside the Shorten file.

The reason for a separate seek data file is because the original seeder did not encode that particular show with Shorten v3. Re encoding the old Shorten file with the seek data embedded into it would change the MD5 checksum, and cause much confusion. Because of this, you should never append seek data to older Shorten files. You can create .skt files for your older (non seeking) Shorten files with SHN v3 tools.

.skt files are only necessary if you want to listen to Shorten files in ShnAmp or XMMS-SHN and be able to seek. Seeders that encode new shows with the SHN v3 tools will have seek data automatically embedded into the SHN file by default. The seek data is there so people can take advantage of seeking without needing additional (.skt) files

MD5

Plain text files with checksum information for the shns. The checksum strings inside are like 32-character ID numbers for each shn, used to check the integrity of the shns and to "fingerprint" them. People create md5s at the same time they create the shns. The files are typically named by band abbrev, show date, and often disc, such as ph2000-04-20d1.md5. Within the md5 file there should be a separate line for each shn.

TGPO-
I am either very impressed by your actual knowledge or by your superb ability to seach the web.
