- 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.
- CVU file is a CVSD Unfiltered Audio. Continuously Variable Slope Delta modulation (unfiltered) is an alternative handler for CVSD that is unfiltered but can be used with any bit-rate.
