- Description
- The SHN file format, short for Shorten Compressed Audio File, is a type of compressed audio file developed for efficiently archiving high-quality digital audio. Shorten was one of the early lossless compression methods for audio, meaning it allows the exact original audio data to be reconstructed from the compressed data, without any loss in quality.
- This is an audio file very similar to .WAV file but is developed using the Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF). It is mainly used to store standard CD audio.
