From EAC 1.0b2 onwards the strings for the additional command line options for the LAME encoder in the Compression Options menu changed. I used to have bledd's excellent pre-packaged EAC + LAME installer but that used EAC 0.95b3 which is rather old now. I abandoned EAC 0.95b3 when it became almost impossible to get EAC to download the CD information. EAC 1.0b3 does this and also has a built-in album art downloader which is rather good.
When I upgraded from EAC 0.95b3 to 1.0b3 I just copied the additional command line options that bledd's installer set up. This was a few weeks ago but recently I had to format my disk and re-install Windows. When I got round to installing EAC + LAME I was unable to copy and paste the command line options over. EAC tells me there were invalid replacement tags found. A quick google told me that from EAC 1.0b2 onwards the strings were changed so the following code now no longer works because most of the strings are now wrong.
Looking at a informative page about the changes I found that
I'm using LAME 3.99.3 if that affects the strings in any way. So if anyone can help me work out how to change the code to the new layout I'd be a happy bunny.
Just found another link, http://blowfish.be/eac/Lossy/lossy.html, would
be a good replacement for the original command line option code?

Code:
%l--alt-preset 128%l%h--alt-preset standard%h %s %dso I changed those relevant strings but EAC still moans about invalid replacement tags. I did read the rest of the page but I felt unsure as to what to change in the code above to make it compatible with EAC 1.0b3, so here I am asking if anyone else has either had the same problem and worked the answer out or can translate the old code into the new code for me.
