I can't tell the difference either, but at least here inNorth America,SHN has become the standard for trading live recordings, and if you try and trade mp3 sourced shows you'll get slammed. Ironically, I think the ones pushing the SHN/lossless audio stuff the hardest are the ones who treat it more as a collection and may not even actually listen to all the shows they get, because SHN works as a good archival solution. I still trade all my shows in regular audio format, but there is a growing trend among show traders here to save everything in SHN format only, and only occasionally burn the "best" shows in audio format. So at least on this side of the pond,SHN iskinda the basic standard among live music collectors for the forseeable future and it's something you have to deal with.
