Optimal Audio Encoding Settings

Using EAC, here are the best settings (that I’ve found) for encoding audio:

  • Check ‘Use external program for compression’
  • Change ‘Parameter passing scheme’ to ‘User Defined Encoder’
  • MP3:
    • Set file extension to .mp3
    • Locate ‘lame.exe’
    • Additional Command-line options: %l-V 5%l%h-V 0%h –vbr-new %s %d
  • FLAC:
    • Set file extension to .flac
    • Locate ‘flac.exe’
    • Use command line -T “artist=%a” -T “title=%t” -T “album=%g” -T “date=%y” -T “tracknumber=%n” -T “genre=%m” %s
