Du har nedladdat en show eller två från http://bt.etree.org och nu önskar du att konvertera shnen sparar till mp3 för att ta med dig på din iPod eller spelare MP3. Denna ska tutorial går dig till och med kliver för att göra precis det, genom att använda OS X.
Den första saker först, ser till dig att ha nedladdat och installerat xACT och iTunes, båda av som är fria.
Det finns två kliver, i att konvertera din .sh n, sparar till .mp3. Första är att avkoda .sh n in i .wav sparar. After göras det, dig ska kodar .waven sparar in i .mp3' S.
Avkodning .sh n sparar med xACT
Kodande .wav sparar med iTunes
Avkodning .sh n sparar med xACT
- Barkass xACT och välj avkoda flik
- Klicka tillfoga knäppas
- Navigera till .sh n sparar dig önskar att avkoda, väljer alla dem och klickar därefter Tillfoga sparar
- Nu ska du behov att välja tillverkad - jag använder och föreslår .wav. Klicka Avkoda ordna till, när du är
- Du ska meddelas för att välja ett läge till tillverkad räddningsparar. Välj den samma mappen, var .sh n sparar lokaliseras, och klicka därefter Välj
- Pålagd går en kruka av kaffe. De processaa endast takesna några för avkodning noterar.
- När det har avslutat, ska du är tillbaka på avkoda avskärma, men det ska för att inte vara några sparar i avkodningen listar. Känselförnimmelse fritt till nära xACT nu.
Kodande .wav sparar med iTunes
- Öppna upp iTunes och välj iTunes uppifrån meny, och därefter Preferenser…, från det drop-down lista
- Välj Avancerat meny för flik uppifrån, och därefter Import från den lägre menyn
- Från Använda för import: lista valt Kodare MP3
- Från Inställning: lista, välj din kvalitets- preferens. I happen to have a lot of space on my portable MP3 player, so I opt for Higher Quality (192 kbps)
- It also annoys me to have songs playing while they’re importing, so I disable that feature by removing the check from the box labeled Play songs while importing. This is entirely optional. Click OK to return to iTunes.
- Now select File from the top menu, and then Add to Library… from the drop-down list
- Navigate to the folder where you saved all of the .wav files from xACT, select that folder, and then click Choose
- iTunes will now import all of the .wav’s into iTunes. Find all of the newly added files (usually at the bottom of your iTunes list, but it depends on how you sort your music) and select them all. Once they’re all highlighted, right-click (ctrl-click for you one-button folks) on any of the selected songs and choose Convert Selection to MP3 from the pop-up menu.
- Remember that pot of coffee you put on while the .flac files were decoding? Now’s the time to get a cup. While iTunes is encoding your MP3s, a status indicator will appear in the left window (see image below). Depending on how “fast” your mac is (processor speed, memory etc) and how many files you’re encoding, this step can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
- Once all of the files have been encoded, iTunes will probably beep to get your attention. Before you start listening to your music, now’s a good time to get rid of the .wav files, since they’re no longer needed. You should notice that ever other track in iTunes is highlighted. These are the .wav files - get them out of iTunes by clicking the delete key on your keyboard. If iTunes asks if you want to delete the files as well as remove them from iTunes, feel free to do so (you should still have the source .shn files if you ever need an uncompressed version again)
- That’s it! You’re done. You can now tag the files in iTunes, transfer them to your iPod etc. If you need to get at the MP3s, they will likely be located in Mac Hard Drive:Users:you:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music:

Great tutorial. One question, though. When I add the files to iTunes I have them tagged as one album and disc 1 of 1 (if that’s the case). From there, I have the tracks numbers as they are supposed to be: 1 of 12, 2 of 12, etc.
When I sync to my iPod, I can’t access the whole album. Tracks are individual within the album (1 of 1, 1 of 1, etc). Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the way the system works?
An excellent guide. For more shn introduction or software to convert shn to mp3 on various OS, look at here:

This has been super helpful…there was an especially great show I attended years ago in college that I grabbed from archive.org and was clueless as to how to listen.
As for a copy of xACT, I found this had the most up-to-date version:

Happy decoding!
I have Xact and itunes. When I try to convert the .shn files with Xact, I get this error message: “No magic number found.” What the heck does that mean?? Help!
Thanks so much. It was very helpful. Would have been completely lost without this!
