SHN (Shorten) and FLAC are a compressed audio file format. They are lossless compression formats, so there is no quality loss like there is with MP3 conversion. File sizes are approximately 50-60% of the original WAV file size. For a more in-depth FAQ about SHN, there is a good FAQ at http://research.umbc.edu/~hamilton/shnfaq.html.
