It is still possible to use custom builds of the LameXP built-in tools (even if the manual does not mention it).

From the older LameXP FAQ:
Quote:
Is there a way to use custom tools (binaries) with LameXP instead of the "built-in" ones?

LameXP uses a number third-party tools. All of these tools are already "built-in" (with a few exceptions) and
thus it is NOT required to provide separate binaries. Usually it will NOT be necessary to replace any of
the "built-in" tools with a custom (user-provided) binary. If, however, you need to replace/update/downgrade
one of the binaries for a good reason, the recommended method is re-building LameXP from the sources. If you
don't know how to build LameXP from the sources, then you probably shouldn't be trying to replace the binary.

Having said that, there now is a more convenient method for using a custom tool version (binary) instead of
the "built-in" one. This method works WITHOUT re-building LameXP. However note that the following is intended
for testing and debugging purposes only! Also note that LameXP was specifically designed to work with the
"built-in" versions of the tools. It may not work properly or may not work at all with custom tool versions!

In order to replace a "built-in" binary, simply put the user-provided binary to the following location:
<install_folder>\tools\<build_number>\<tool_name>.exe
If, for example, you want to replace 'lame.exe' in Build #666 of LameXP, you would put it to the this path:
C:\Path to your LameXP install folder\tools\666\lame.exe
(It is intended that the '<build_number>' part of the path has to be adjusted with every update of LameXP)
