Is there a way to make google news stop displaying a specific story on the first page all the time? This Amanda Cocks shit is getting on my nerves. I don't give a hoot about it, please stop displaying it all over my screen.

The placement of this post doesn't seem well thought out, rafa. Take it to tech support.

And the answer is no.

You sure you selected the right output?

I use the same output that I do for FLAC, so I don't see what the problem is. I just converted a FLAC to test and all was good.

Yeah it should have worked no problem. Try changing the output back to what you use to play the files (and not convert them) and see if the SHNs will even play.

You can play SHNs on their own? How?

In winamp, just play them like you would any other audio file.

The running time for each track is 0:00.

You don't say...

Have you successfully used winamp to convert SHNs to WAVs in the past?

I've successfully converted SHN files in the last few days, but I'm not sure if it was with winamp or another free program I was using. I deleted that second program this morning when I realized that I could do the same thing with winamp. I guess maybe I couldn't..

You might not have the SHN plug in installed for winamp. Don't worry, it's easy to do.

http://www.etree.org/cgi-bin/counter.cg ... in_shn.zip

Download that. Unzip it and you will see it contains a .dll file. Copy that file into the Plugins folder for winamp, which is located at C:\Program Files\Winamp\PlugIns

Nope, it should recognize SHNs now. You might need to shut down and restart winamp though.

And you're still getting 0:00 times for the files even with using the playback (not the convert) output?

I don't know what I did, but it's playing now. It's not even a good recording worth converting. Go figure.

The plugin was probably finally recognized.
