Does EAC add aguments to --alt-preset standard Options

[dgover2]

If I have EAC set up to use "Lame MP3 Encoder" with the commandline --alt-preset standard, does it add any other commandline arguments? I have a small suspicion that it does and id like to hear otherwise

Cheers,

I second that

I often see that people use APS, but the files have a lowest bitrate of 192. Cause of that: having 192 in the bitrate settings of EAC, which adds that to your settings string.

If you use the line Tigre suggests, APS will allow 128kbps as lowest bitrate, as it should be.

Assuming that this is indeed true, will this result in better MP3s or worse MP3s? I have always used the "Parameter passing scheme" as "Lame mp3 Encoder" and I thought "--alt-preset standard" over-rode all other parameters. I don't want to end up with bad MP3s all over again, which I am afraid I have. Thanks.
