You don't have to do a *thing*. Just install and when iTunes runs, the plugin will be in your system tray. Why is it awesome? It automatically adjust the levels for each song you play in real time. All of it automatically. Hindi music sounds fabulous, the bass for dance music is wonderful - why the heck didn't I find this sooner?
You can download it here - its a 30 day demo BUT its not too difficult to get it licensed ^__~
Utility for windows: KO Approach
I'm coming to *hate* Windows Explorer for browsing folders and files. Especially when I just want to know what is in a zipped file or a folder. What the KO Approach does is it lets you click on a folder, keep your mouse button pressed a second and a menu (like when you right click) appears. It contains the contents of the folder and you can continue browsing this way down every single subfolder till you find what you're looking for. It is so freakin' fast!
Look at it and download here - completely *free* and perfect.
On a different note, I just bought an external hard drive since my laptop is getting totally bloated with the stuff I download. Hopefully I can get my data transferred over to the new HD, have the laptop reformatted and working like new (and faster, damnit).
