just use winamp3 and use the shn plugin for it, at least you'll be able to listen/clone the shns.......and if this doesnt play right, then theres something wrong w/ yer copy 8)

mkw's should still have an md5 file, run that, if they check out ok convert them to wav...then get the flac frontend from mike wren's site and convert them to flac...the frontend comes with plugins for winamp2 and nero to play and burn them.  i've been having problems with shn lately too, so i've just been putting up all my stuff in flac..works just as well

ya ... i like FLAC better anyway, better compression, intigrated check sums and a cooler name.
