Talk:Shorten (codec)

It should be noted that an identical digital signal does not guarantee identical audio output.

User:TMC1221, consider the use of such a signal on different audio equipment. Mr. Jones 08:46, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
 * Okay. The statement as written had no such provision. I'm replacing the statement with the different hardware notation. TMC1221 17:39, Apr 18, 2004 (UTC)

I put a short note in this article (given that this is apparently an obsolete/deprecated format) just so that people are aware (if they don't follow the logic of lossless versus lossy) that there is no harm whatsoever in converting from Shorten to FLAC, etc. Plushpuffin (talk) 20:55, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

How to guides
The three sections on converting on Mac, Windows, and Linux should be deleted as Wikipedia is not a how to. Though it's probably what most people are looking for, so I left it. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 14:10, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Review sentence of recent edit
Hello @SchmuckyTheCat, would you mind reading back the sentence of the latest edit made for thee page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shorten_(codec)&diff=1153981105

There’s the typo of « already » that was written with a missing « e », but I didn’t change it since I’m not sure to understand what « used to trade concert recordings » means.

Thanks for your continued work on Wikipedia! Aeiouyaeiouy (talk) 23:41, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I corrected the spelling and included a link. I hope that addresses your concerns. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 14:04, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Original source code available
Someone asked me for the original shorten source code because the couldn't find it. I came here and found that the etree site does not exist any more and the Wikipedia page points to a web archive. The original source has been on github for 9 months now - https://github.com/drtonyr/shorten. At the momenent I don't know the best way to add this in to the article.
