Correct Me If I'm Wrong
Baz,
I think that LAME cannot be packaged with this. If I remember correctly, though LAME itself is a valid license(?), it is a patented technology, and the the original patent holders are enforcing their patents aggressively. I think this is the same reason why Audacity cannot be packaged with LAME.
FYI.

Couldn't get lame to compress to mp3 files. Got error or fail to compress depending on settings. Found out lame file can't be UPX format.
Also does the lame file drive no have to be changed each time different drive is assigned.

FLAC + AccurateRip
I use EAC with FLAC & AccurateRip on my PC, so I was wondering if it's possible to install FLAC & AccurateRip with your EAC Portable so I can have the same setup on my thumb drive that I have on my PC's? I'm new to this portable apps stuff so I'm kinda lost, I don't know if each program would run properly if I just copied the program files from each program or whether or not they would leave any traces behind. BTW thanks Evil Baz for making EAC Portable.
the advantage of the
the advantage of the portable launcher is that you just have to put your entire folder of EAC on the "app" folder of the portable app (check instructions when you install the app) and that would do the trick, if the FLAC and AR is in a different folder just paste it in the same folder and change the path for them.
I will do a few test and try to check if it works.
I have both CDEX and EAC on
I have both CDEX and EAC on my pen and I have never got EAC to work propery with compressing to mp3, I think it is to do with the working directory bug. So I use CDex which I got from French site. This works great except it defaults to 'Ma Musique' every time it starts. Could you release an English version of CDex please?
Always get your software from it's official site !
The full zip-version (no installer)
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdexos/cdex_151.zip?download
or just download the language file, place it in the CDex DIR, restart
and change the language in options ...

I use EAC off my stick and it works flawless for me. CDEx is not bad either, but EAC is simply the best ripper out there.
Btw. the author of EAC has released a new version (0.99 PreBeta) which may be worth a try as well as the older EAC 0.95 Beta 3 which offers some extra functionality

Thanks for the tip (and Tanis too ^^) I will do the update as soon as possible, oh and BTW if those guys that are having problem mind to give a more detailed explanation of what is happening I will appreciate because I had it on my external HDD and is working.
Just tried it and this works
Just tried it and this works fine with the mp3 :) - How can I make it use CBR instead of VBR for mp3?
/*EDIT*/
Sorted - Found the Lame command line switches, this must have been the problem I had before.

Lame path doesn't change the drive letter?
I installed this using the Portbale Apps Suite which makes the EAC App directory:
X:\PortableApps\EAC Portable Launcher\App\EAC (with various drive letters for X of course)
I tried with both "0.99 prebeta 1" and "0.95 beta 4" and put a lame.exe into the same directory, but everytime the drive letter changes, I have to manually change the Lame path drive letter.
Is this
a) because I need to use an older EAC version?
b) because of the different install path caused by the Portable Apss Suite?
c) because the changing of the Lame dir path is not supported by the launcher?
d) because of something else I might have overlooked?
Well this is by far a
Well this is by far a problem that Tanis and I haven't find a solution, we can't make that EAC look for LAME on a relative path (I.E.: /app/EAC/LAME/), EAC has the default option to seek on an absolute path (I.E.: X:\Portable Apps\PortableEAC\app\EAC\LAME)
That is why always you change of computer and the drive letter change you have to input the absolute path of LAME.
We are continuing searching for a solution for this, but I will not be too sure about this...

NSIS ReplaceInFile
Here:

This is what John uses for Firefox and Notepad++ to replace drive letters in some of the settings files. It should work for your purpose.
Thanks for the tip my friend
Thanks for the tip my friend I will analyze this and implement it. ^^
Anything Further
I was looking for a EAC in a portable package. Did this release ever get fine tuned or different release take off? I would really prefer to run EAC instead of CDEX. Thanks
AccurateRip fix?
Any update or fix so that using AccurateRip still makes it portable? Currently using AR leaves the folder in the Application Data folder on the users computer.
