Good to know....thanks!

I think that 3.96.1 also has preset standard integrated as V2, but since I'm
not specifying anything else on the command line, I'm just using CDex's
interface and choosing alt preset standard from the dropdown menu. I assume
that will still work if I bring in the 3.97 .dll as well. If not, I can go
external and use the command line instead. Guess I'll hold off ripping my
entire collection until I update to 3.97, since it's as far along as it is.

Thanks again,
Greg
