	Moreover, confusion can arise from the fact that versions of EAC prior to 1.0b2 used different placeholders for naming the output file compared to those for passing to the external encoder. These two sets of placeholders do not correspond, but they are similar enough to get mixed up.

New page

'''[[Exact Audio Copy]]''' provides numerous '''placeholders''' to be used when invoking a command-line encoder. Beginning with EAC version 1.0 beta 2, the naming scheme for placeholders was revamped, necessitating that users moving to this new version revise their command lines. Both old and new lists of placeholders and their meanings are available in the official [http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/en/index.php/support/faq/ EAC FAQ] and in several of the Hydrogenaudio Knowledgebase’s own [http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=Category:Guides Guides]. This page intends to simplify the process of migrating to a new version of EAC by collating the two sets of placeholders into a single table for ease of comparison/substitution.
