Never heard of this one before. But according to this page you can use Winamp with the ShnAmp plugin for Winamp.
I used to use winamp a lot but for some reason have not been using it for the last couple of years.

Yeah, just get the .shn plugin for winamp. There are programs out there that will also convert .shn to mp3, but you shouldn't because .shn is largely lossless, which makes for great sound quality. Depending on what burning program you use for CDs, you can also get a plugin for Nero and such.

it depends on whether you want to listen to SHN files, convert them to MP3s, or convert to WAV files and burn to CD. to extract and burn to CD, go here for the necessary software. i can't help you with MP3s, because i'm obdurately opposed to MP3 as a file format due to its horrid sound quality. Winamp appears to be the most popular program for playback of unconverted SHN files. Note that the above applies to PC software, not Macintosh software; similar apps are available as freeware for the Mac.

Thanks for the help guys. Plus 1 for everybody. I ended up downloading Traders Little Helper which is perfect for all kinds of stuff.
Anybody know how I can start downloading bit-torrent files?
