Well, I've only tried using XBOX Media Player but all my MP3's play
fine, they were all encoded using --alt-preset standard.

The %l option is used by EAC to allow you to set up switches for
different uses. if you enclose any switch within %l then it will
only be added if you select low quality.

So if you set %l--alt-preset 128%l it will only be added if you
select low quality.

If you set %h--alt-preset standard%h this will be used if you select
high quality.
