Not just a windows codec:
http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html

Flac is also supported by a number of digital audio players

Though some content in shorten is available at archive.org, the 
format is no longer widely used.  Flac has supplanted it.  Since 
shorten is lossless, you can convert it back to wav and then compress 
using another scheme.

I use Exact Audio Copy with FLAC.
