mkwACT Description
mkwACT is a small audio application specialized in compressing or decompressing Shorten files (SHN format), checking and creating MD5 signatures.
Simple looks
The utility adopts a minimalistic GUI that features drag-and-drop capabilities. There’s no support for a help manual, only some hints are displayed in the main window including information about the supported file formats.
Audio conversion capabilities
mkwACT offers you the freedom to drag and drop MKW, SHN and MP files in order to decode them to WAV, and 16-bit stereo PCM WAV files for compressing the audio data to MKW (lossless).
What’s more, you are allowed to import 16-bit stereo PCM WAV files to encode to MP3 (lossy) and any supported PCM WAV files to encode to SHN (lossless). Plus, you can pause the process and exit the tool at the end of the task.
Configuration settings
mkwACT gives you the possibility to select the output directory or save files in the input folder, create subdirectories, generate MD5 checksums after compressing, delete input files after lossless (MKW or SHN) processing, delete MPEG files after decoding to WAV, overwrite existing files with new output, as well as report MD5 verification results only on errors.
In addition, you may tweak several MPEG settings, namely alter the encoder bitrate, pick the decoder floating point precision, as well as specify the decoder scale factor.
Bottom line
To sum things up, mkwACT delivers a straightforward software solution for helping you convert WAV audio files to and from various lossless and lossy compressed formats. On the downside, it hasn’t been updated for a long time so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems.
