Rather than directly (and permanently) changing audio data, the WMP volume leveling feature measures the differences between songs and calculates a standard volume level. This is a non-destructive process that ensures each song you play is normalized in relation to other songs. The information is then stored in each song’s metadata (much like ReplayGain) to keep the levels for all future listening. How to Automatically Normalize Your Music Library in WMP 12 If you want to eliminate or minimize major volume changes between songs in your Windows Media library, launch the WMP 12 application and follow these steps....

Do You Need to Play Final Fantasy Games in Order? At first glance, a video game series with over three decades of history might seem like it has too much baggage to dive right into. While it’s true that the Final Fantasy franchise does have a ton of history, the fact is that very few of the games actually tie together in terms of actual plots and characters. That means a new player can pick virtually any game in the series, play it, and not miss out on anything....
