Hi there. I have spent the last 2 hours trying to get this question answered and now I must ask.

I am using EAC with Lame. I have my alt-preset standard in the command line. I am trying to write my tags using ID3v1. My question is I wish to write the track title tag to be a combination of track number and track title.

So --tt = "07 - Throwing it all away."

Does this make sense? I was hoping I could say --tt "%n - %t" but this does not work.

The reason for doing this is that I am importing all these songs into a NOMAD Jukebox 3 and I must use their lame Playcenter software to upload songs. I wish to maintain the the tracknumber as part of the info I see in the Nomad, but this is not an option. So I figured I could just append the track number to the beginning of the track title.

Also I don't care whether I do this w/in the command line or within the ID3 Tag tab under Compression Options from w/in EAC.

Thanks for your help.

Here it works : %l--alt-preset 128%l%h--alt-preset standard%h --tt "%N - %T" %s %d

So i really don't know why it didn't work for you! Good luck anyway!

Can I ask another dumb question? WHat does placing in two alt-presets do for you? Also what does the %l before and after the first preset do for you?

Thank you.

dump the v1 tags, any program relatively new supports v2 well

use the following for about the best quality mp3's (VBR) possible:
--alt-preset standard --id3v2-only --pad-id3v2 --tt "%t" --ta "%a" --tl "%g" --ty %y --tc "EAC: Lame 3.92 @ alt pre std" --tn %n --tg "%m" %s %d

You can replace standard w/ extreme but from what I've read it blows up file size w/ little change in quality.

l% stands for the low quality setting and h% for the high quality setting.
You can easily switch between the two settings by activating low quality or high quality at the right bottom of the external encoder tab.
