It don't matter if its compressed with an old and inferior codec, as you can always transcode to a different codec. Lossless of course...

Yup, but tagging and gapless info gets lost in the mix (did shorten even have gapless anything?)

Depending on the software used, its fully possible to transfer tags to the new file.
I don't think Shorten had gapless playback anyway...

shorten doesn't have tags... so not useful to me. also much worse compression.
