Or, since EAC 1.0 beta 2 :
-q 6 %source% -o %dest%
- Vorbis Comment:
-q 6 -a "%a" -t "%t" -l "%g" -d "%y" -N "%n" -G "%m" %s -o %d
Again, since EAC 1.0 beta 2 it gives :
-q 6 -a "%albumartist%" -t "%title%" -l "%albumtitle%" -d "%year%" -N "%tracknr%" -G "%genre%" %source% -o %dest%
- Note: If you wanted to change the quality setting the green portion is what you would substitute with the new setting e.g. -q 10 or -q 2. For more information, see this page.
- Do not worry what bit rate is shown in the bit rate drop down box, this will be ignored.
