Is it even possible? Now that winamp is in limbo, I would love to ditch it for good and just keep VLC as my main software.....only issue is.....

2/3 of my music is in SHN.....I absolutely DO NOT want to spend 2 months or more converting them all to FLAC....

Any ideas?

Phish doesn't write beautiful music...the beautiful music happens after the written parts.

<gainesvillegreen> now, if they could get their sound to be as good as the lights, we'd have a band hee-yah!!

Music is what feelings sound like.

foobar?
yeah, I get only wanting one app for music and video.  I just regularly use foobar for tagging so I keep it loaded up and it plays shn files fine.

I think you you have to add a plug-in to get foobar to play shn, but it works just fine after that.

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

actually, everything I've read, VLC plays shn files fine.

I like the overly simple interface of VLC for playing my FLACs. Further off topic: I've been really happy with the little USB digital audio converter I got for $150. It really makes a difference.
