>>Yeah, but I'm lazy...I hate renaming files. Taking all those '-fixed' flags out wastes valuable time, dammit! And as far as I can tell, there's no way around it.<<
you can edit it so it doesn't add the "-fixed"
download the latest shntool source code. open up the fix.c source file (it might be core-fix.c or somethign, i can check when at home).
put a "//" before the #DEFINE postfix line
then down lower, put a "//" on the 2 lines that add the "-" and "fixed". or i'll send you the binary
(if you're a computer geek already then maybe i should have just said comment out the lines that add the -fixed)
.>>Since you brought up the aiff thing...I had some weird errors compressing aiffs and then running shntool on them before - like shntool couldn't get some info from the files because it didn't recognize them. Ever seen those before? I'm also not thrilled with the file.aiff.shn format for command-line-shortened aiffs - again, the file renaming laziness rears its ugly head. Oh well.<<
shntool uses sox to convert formats, and sox doesn't understand compressed aiff-c.
sound studio exports (when choosing split by markers) without filename extensions. then a quick "shnfix -o shn *" form shntool fixes them and outputs to shn from the aiff. no filenames to clean up. you can also specify in shntool what output filenames to use. very powerful utility if you know all the modules
