This is a great page for EAC configuration:

http://www.saunalahti.fi/cse/EAC/

CODE

-T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

This will encode using -5 as the compression level. If you want something different, just add it to the beginning.

For example:

CODE

-8 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" %s

--best => -8

This is mine:

CODE

-8 -P 4096 -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -T "encodedby=PX-W4824A => EAC 0.95 pb5 secure => FLAC 1.1.2 -8" -V --delete-input-file %s

It pads with 4 KB's and uses flac.exe to delete the wav file (uncheck EAC's "Delete WAV after compression"). It also writes my encoding pipeline to an "encodedby" field...
I had --replay-gain in, but took it out as you'll have to replaygain after encoding (using foobar2000 or metaflac.exe) anyway if you want both correct album gain and correct track gain values on the files...

EDIT: Typo.

...and if I want leading zeros for track numbers (01, 02, 03 instead of 1, 2, 3)...?
