This guide is in need of an update, because '''in EAC 1.0 beta 2, the replacement strings changed'''. For example:
 
* "%s" is now "%source%"
 
* "%d" is now "%dest%"
 
* "%a" is now "%artist%"
 
See the full list in [http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/en/index.php/support/faq/ the EAC FAQ] or in the [http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=EAC_Compression_Options#External_Compression EAC Compression Options guide].
