Bean I don't run it but it looks like the "special" will play SHN automagically with no additional plugin
needed.

doesnt work on my comp out of the box on shn's ???
flacs are fine but no shn's and i d'l'd the 'special' version too ???
i had this problem when i first installed foobar 2000 many months ago
-
I've got the same problem after I reformatted my hard drive.
SHN's played just fine in foobar before the reformat. Installed foobar after and I can't get SHN's to play either.
-
i convert everything from shn>wav>flac but still, that sucks :(
i thought you could do a straight shn>flac conversion in foobar2000 too, but i dont know how ???
-
download dbpoweramp bean - it'll let you do shn>flac, but i think you have to download a plugin to do it. still makes it easier.

bean that sucks man sorry, from their site it looks like the special supported all those format right "out of the box" to quote them. They would not stop supporting SHN all of a sudden would they?

the special version is def supposed to right out of the box ???

bean, is the problem simply that foobar 2000 doesn't associate shn files with the program (i.e. that when looking at shn files in explorer you don't see a foobar icon associated with the shn files)?
If so, you might merely need to tell foobar to associate the shn files with foobar, which you do by hitting start>program files>foobar2000>foobar2000associations.
then, be sure the checkbox for shn is selected.
if the above doesn't work (and manually dragging a shn file into foobar won't cause it to play), you should confirm that the shorten decoder is, in fact installed, to do this, open foobar, select preferences from the foobar 2000 pulldown menu, select components (at the very top) and confirm that the shorten decoder is installed.

this is weird, i d/l'd the special version, and now its not showing it at all in the empty boxes in the file associations dialog box ??? weird!

bean:
I recall having a similar problem when I first downloaded the special version from the foobar 2000 main webpage.
Seems the version I downloaded was not, in fact, the special version, but the normal version. I went to the linked downloads page, downloaded the special version from there and all worked --
you should try uninstalling your version of foobar 2000 and installing the version from this link http://www.foobar2000.org/foobar2000_0.8.3_special.exe -- and see if that gives you the shn decoding you need.

i def have the special exe on my HD, but i'll try that, thanks bud!
-
+T tim, that worked like a charm
i couldnt even find the plugin anywhere easily!
