Audio Filter Missing SHN

Post by toolatetostopnow »

not exactly a bug but...

Audio Filter doesn't contain SHN

SHN is the main lossless compression music format that preceded FLAC, hence there are still a lot of SHN files in existence.

To add shn files to your Audio filter:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize filters.
  • Select Audio and click Edit....
  • Change the Search to:

    Code: Select all

    ext:aac;ac3;aif;aifc;aiff;amr;ape;au;cda;dts;fla;flac;it;m1a;m2a;m3u;m4a;m4b;m4p;mid;midi;mka;mod;mp2;mp3;mpa;mpc;ogg;opus;ra;rmi;snd;spc;voc;wav;weba;wma;xm;shn
    
  • Click OK.
  • Click OK.
I will consider including .shn file is the Audio filter by default.

Thank you for the suggestion.

SHNs are widely used in the live music trading community from 15-20 years ago but because FLACs are only slightly better many people have no bothered to re-encoded them, so they are still traded. As well, many have been burned to DVDs as during that period of time, DVDs were the way to go for storage.. so if someone wants to reupload one, he would just grab the SHNs from the DVD.
