Thanks!
shntool is actually compatible with Windows, Unix, and Mac OS X.
They only make the Windows binary available for easy download.
However, in just a matter of seconds, I was able to download, build,
and install shntool for Mac OS X. Works like a charm. Gotta love
open source. P.S. I contributed to shorten, so technically I "paid"
for this open source. ;-)
I was able to generate a shntool hash for a wav file, then compress
it with flac and confirm that the signatures matched after running
metaflac --show-md5
Thanks for asking this question, Jeff. You've probably saved me some
time with my backups. I generally run flac and then cmp the files to
make sure my current file matches my backup, but that sometimes gives
a false failure report. Now I can just use shntool hash on the
uncompressed file and metaflac --show-md5 on the optical backup, and
be good.

is Windows-only, but the source is available.
