Title: Shntool Problem
Post by: Sloan Simpson on October 02, 2004, 02:23:01 AM

I got a new PC, and while I had shntool working flawlessly on my old one, I can't seem to get it to work.  I keep getting "error: need two or more files to process" . . . This is when I'm trying to run it on 2 disc-length files (I do it on the whole disk to save the hassle or renaming every single track), and it's skipping the first file because it wouldn't be changed.  Sound familiar to anyone?  I suck at this . . .

Thanks
Sloan

What exactly are you trying to do, "shntool fix"? I think the reason it's failing is because usually shntool fix will by default take samples from the second file to pad the first, and THEN pad the second file with zeroes at the end. Since the first file doesn't need padding, that's why you're getting the error. I guess you could try padding the other way, but I'd just track with CD-Wave instead, drop a marker at the very end and just trash the last file.

Different from what I used to do, but this works just as well, thanks!
