The shn2make software automates the creation of audio and archive CDs by working with SHN or FLAC audio files and make program.
Shn2make is a software that specializes in working with sets of shn or flac audio files and the make program to automate the process of creating shn archive CD-R's, audio CD-R's and encoding of lossy mp3 and ogg-vorbis files. Shn and flac are audio compression formats that are known for their lossless qualities. These formats are frequently used for distributing high-quality live recordings of "trade friendly" bands, which can be found via etree.org or in USENET groups like alt.binaries.gdead.
When using shn2make, the shn and flac file sets are typically accompanied by a .nfo or .txt file that contains the set list and additional information about the files. The software readily finds all the shn or flac files in the current directory and then proceeds to check their md5 checksums. Afterward, it locates the .nfo or .txt files and attempts to determine the song names along with their corresponding disc and track numbers. The software then matches the song names against the available shn/flac files.
Once all files are accounted for and everything makes sense as expected, shn2make creates a Makefile, which can be utilized with the standard "make" utility. Several tedious tasks can be automatically performed on the set of shn or flac files using the Makefile, including archiving the set to CD and encoding all the songs to mp3 with the correct names.
The most recent update to shn2make features the incorporation of wodim, which will be used instead of cdrecord if available.
