This is where you can find all of the various bits of software that helps make DDS go. Without the wonderful work of the people at Softsound, who created shorten and have been very forthcoming in aiding the movement over at etree.org, or Michael K. Weiss, who developed the MKW Audio Compression Tool, DDS would never have happened.

The shorten, mkwact, and batch files all support the new "seekable shn" feature of shortn32.exe v.3. This allows you to actually seek to specific points while you are playing a shn in winamp using the shnamp plugin.

CDWav v.1.56 is actually a slightly older version, but is recommended because the split marker doesn't keep moving while you are playing a file.

DDS recommends the MKW Audio Compression tool for all shn and md5 compression, decompression, and verification.
