hello, can anybody help me?

[adamadcap]

i just joined the site and see a wealth of music that all looks so great, but all seem to be shn or flac files. I ask any benevolent soul on here how I might find any mp3's. Or if any one could help me figure out how to download and play the shn or flac files...

Adamadcap - go here for what you need for flac http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html
Also when you install flac it should install plugins that allow winamp to play files and also the nero plugin for burning straight to audio cd.

Otherwise use the flac program to decode to wave and then do whatever you normally do with wave files.

and go here for the same for SHN http://tlh.easytree.org/

You can also use mkwACT to decode .shn to .wav,
and a WinAmp plugin called ShnAmp to play them
(assuming you have WinAmp of course!).
There's also a Nero plugin which allows you to
burn .shn directly to audio CD

Enjoy
