I prefer the quality of shn...But I'm not going to get into the whole MP3 VS SHN thing

Important Message: Hi.
really? for some reason i thought shn files were hugeisaac wrote:exactly, andy. but i'll give a short explanation anyway, and feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. SHN files are compressed Wav files so no quality is lost. mp3's are stereotypically compressed wav files, so it's much more compact, but with mp3's there is a loss in quality, but with SHN's there isn't at all. some people might notice a difference, others might not. i'd just rather be safe than sorry.
