Maybe this sounds stupid, but if I convert shn files to flac then is it remain lossless? I know that shn is lossless file type, but my winamp doesn't like it although it has shn plugin.
And is it allowed? By the way I'm using Easy CD-DA 9.0.
Thx.

Re: Is Shn To Flac Allowed?
Technically yes because you would just be converting shn to wav, and then wav to flac, but things like that are usually frowned upon because every re-encode of a file does cause small loss.

Re: Is Shn To Flac Allowed?
I did the convertation straight from shn to flac. The bitrate and the sound remains good. Yeah I know that there's a small loss after/during the re-encode but it's still lossless and this is the main thing. Thanks for replying.

Yes there's no loss during lossless-lossless conversion
