doesn't shntool also fix headers?
Please feel free to start a new thread about other tools that can repair headers

Is pigiron's utility going to be of any use on this file? Haven't had any luck trying all the various posted solutions on my G5 Mac. TIA
EDIT: I was able to open as raw in Audacity, and there is music under a thick layer of hiss. Is there a way to know how much offset to use?
