I have just set up EAC on a new hard drive, but I am having trouble getting it to work.
On my old hard drive it worked fine, but I did not really keep up with recent releases.
The problem seems to be with the destination names.
The error is:
The external compressor returned an error!
Options:-V0 --id3v1-only --ta "Pepper" --tt "The Good Thing" --tg"Alt. Rock" --tl"Kona Town" --ty"2002" --tn"01" "Ptmp1!542.wav" "Ptmp1!542.mp3"
File: C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\My Music\Pepper\Kona Town\Pepper-Kona Town-01-The Good Thing.wav
I have also tried with checking the Add ID3 Tag and letting EAC add with -V0 %s %d and it returns the same error.
The log I have saved looks like this:

I followed the wiki and have LAME bundle downloaded from Rareware.
I have tried setting up the LAME folder in the EAC directory and I have tried with just the LAME file there.
I also have Skip track extraction on read or sync errors unchecked.

I am using Windows XP with SP3.
Thanks for the help. I am probably missing some completely obvious step, but I have been unable to figure it out. I tried another cd and it gives the same errors.
