i have a question about the topic how to tranfer a SHN-file to a MP3 file ????
already thanks
-
ooooofffff wrong place for a questionlike that.....lookout i see flames in your future....
EDIT: most tapers are bitter enemies with mp3's for all the obvious reasons having to do with lossy compression. and the fact that you want to mp3 a shn file that has been seeded and BT'ed already as a shn doesn't help your cause.
-
if it must be done, use mkwACT, the instructions are on the interface of the program
-
mp3's are the antichrist, hope this isnt one of my seeds, mkw is the way to go, but i dont recommend it unless its for an ipod or something like that, even though they support wav and aiff
-
besides the fact that lossy compression is looked down upon, the real issue here is that this is a taping forum and for recording topics, not how do i play the show i just downloaded. you may have better luck with questions like these at etree.org or by reading the FAQ over there.
but i won't stop there without answering your question.
if you must convert a .shn file to .mp3 (and hopefully only for your personal listening purposes and NOT for further trading or seeding), just download mkwACT from etree.org and use that. convert the .shns to .wav and then the .wavs to .mp3 with that utility.
there are other options but i think this will be the easiest. you can use shntool but it's command line driven, not for the faint of heart! i'm not aware of a program that does straight .shn to .mp3 conversion.
good luck!

you dutch or something? american tapers don't trade mp3s.
-
so don't trade yours when you figure out how to convert

all of a sudden we're gonna start enforcing content rules and make fun of this guy in the other forum just because he doesn't speak english very well and happened upon this site. you would've welcomed him with open arms if all he had done was included a :smoking2: in his original post. weak.

not i! ;D

plus, there are a lot of BETTER ways to do your own research than have it handed to you. the information is out there, official and unadulterated by secondhand renditions. i don't care if he's dutch, but i do care that he's lazy.

come on now.
to say that the reason anyone is bringing up content appropriateness is because of his relative inability to master the english language is far-fetched and insulting to my integrity.
i just think there are other forums and sources of information better suited for this caliber question. we can safely assume he was not asking because he had recorded something himself and converted it to shn already, if you have enough knowhow as well as the necessary tools to convert a wav to shn, then you likely have the knowhow and tools to convert to mp3. this is a question coming from someone who has acquired a file in a format that is somewhat unfamiliar to them and doesn't possess sufficient knowledge of the topic of compressed music and format conversion. we tend to take many of these things for granted here, true, but it is still considered common knowledge.
and to say that all they needed to include was a :smoking2: is preposterous. i require at least 2 :smoking: :smoking2:, a handful of :drunk: :beer1: :badair:, and one of these :nightfevah: for good measure.
:P

"you dutch or something? american tapers don't trade mp3s." LMAO
-
WTF? Maybe the guy wants to convert into MP3 so he can listen to it on his MP3 capable walkman or car stereo. I know lots of people that make MP3 discs to play in their cars/walkman. You guys need to relax. You're jumping on this poor guys shit before you even know what the deal is. I'm glad that every newbie to the list isn't greeted like this.

I agree with EA. You guys are killin' me...
