    +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)

    + The LameXP startup (splash screen) takes very long on my system. What can I do?

    Starting up LameXP shouldn't take longer than approximately 10 seconds. However it was brought to our
