Got ideas for how things should be run differently in the Vineyard? Improvements? Suggestions? Brainstorms? Truckloads of fertilizer? Post here.

Foobar and winamp
On June 15th, 2009 JackstrawfromCo... said:
Foobar must be like winamp - I can only play flac on that player, not shn. Supposedly there is a plug-in for the winamp player that allows you to play shn too, but I have had issues getting shn files to play.

Storage of FLAC and SHN
On June 15th, 2009 Gr8fulTed said:
I store both FLAC annd SHN on an external hard drive (WD 500 > looks like a book). To create audio cd's I copy files back over to the C drive. For FLAC, I use the FLAC Frontend software to decompress to .wav. For SHN (shorten) files, I use the MKW compression tool 0.97. I never do any .mp3 to .wav conversions. www.eTree.org has the SHN converter.

I'm glad you found it useful Stuman, especially now LTA pilot has pointed you to the shn player.
Winamp will also play flac and there is a shn add on you can get, but I find winamp quite unstable and fussy and could not figure out how to do gapless playback on it.
If you get to know foobar and its many add ons you can do all sorts of stuff such as ensure gapless playback, tag files, convert formats and rip CDs to flacs etc etc.
this is what happens when I try to play shn files ?

Unable to open item for playback (Unsupported file format):
"C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Azureus Downloads\Yes 1977-08-15 PRRP034 - Musical Rainbows, The Civic Center - Providence, Rhode Island\PRRP034D1T01.shn"

Try this
close foobar
1. download the dll file that LTA Pilot gave the link for
2. Go to C/program files/foobar2000/components
3. Paste the dll file into the components folder. It is called foo_input_shorten.dll
Close, restart foobar and try again
Post again if it does not work
good luck
Unstable and fussy??

policy question
On June 16th, 2009 ohyeah said:
Two vines currently in circulation - namely More '74 and June '74 - include full versions (SBDs) of the two shows that dead.net just announced as being partially released on the new "Wall of Sound" Road Trips set. How does the Vineyard typically handle this kind of situation? Are the particular shows being partially released removed from the vines or are the vines kept intact with the explanation that the full shows and the GD-mastered partial shows are not the same recordings? Can someone clarify?
