Windows Media Player Equaliser
Is useless. It’s horrible. It equalises relative to the current audio. When I had a song playing with the full range of sound being played, it was quiet with the bass being amplified, the treble amplified and the middle being normal, just like I set it to (Rock preset in iTunes). But when it came to a section which was mostly higher register, it suddenly became HEAPS louder, and the middle register stuff in it was louder as well!! Also, the equaliser kept on changing the volume even in the same section. It sounded as if I was turning the volume up and down in time with the drum beats and guitar strums, which I wasn’t! When I turned off the equaliser, the effect left, and when I tried it on iTunes (both with equaliser on and off, and on different presets), iTunes didn’t have that stupid problem and played the pieces perfectly… Seriously Microsoft! Get your game together!! The equaliser never did this before!
This is why I like foobar2000 so much, it doesn’t have all these stupid issues windows media player does.
