How does EAC format the command-line when using an external LAME encoder? I have specified in EAC under "additional command line options" --alt-preset standard
However, the resulting file has a different number of bytes than when I use LAME on the command-line (or with a frontend) using only the --alt-preset standard option. I did not specify adding CRC info or an ID3 tag in EAC so I could do a proper comparison. Is EAC passing other options to LAME that I do not know about? How can I make the resulting file identical to using LAME with the command-line, which I prefer because I know exactly what it is doing.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Choose the use _external_ _encoder_ and type in whatever commandline you like.
Maybe you should check out an EAC tutorial also.

Don't forget the %s %d at the end of the command line. People seem to forget that all the time and wonder why their encoding doesn't work.

EAC replaces those with file names when calling external encoder. Without them encoders wouldn't know which file to compress and wouldn't do anything.
