Using EAC (v0.9 b4) and LAME (3.90.3) and can't get

--alt-preset standard -Y

working. After ripping the compression appears to take a fraction of a second - and there is no MP3 file produced.

Was using

--alt-preset standard %s %d

successfully - but want to try

--alt-preset standard -Y

to see if I can save space without hearing any significant difference.

Is it because %s %d always need to be there?

Anyone any ideas?

You need the %s and %d (at the end, in that order)

Thanks Garf

What do they do - I think I know that the % means stereo - not sure on the s / d and order tho'?

Will get on with it now

Nothing to do with stereo.

%s = source
%d = destination

They are needed to link the encoder (LAME) up with the ripper (EAC).

Thanks for that
