Windows Media Player (12) has its own system - they call it "Automatic Volume Leveling". Apparently it is accessed via:
"Enhancements > Crossfading and Auto Volume Leveling"
Thanks, Steve. OK, I see that when right-clicking without being in the "Library". That is a playback feature. The "Burn" tab in the main Options has a checkbox "Apply volume leveling across tracks". The Help for that says
If you're burning songs originally recorded at different volume levels, select this check box to minimize the volume differences between the songs on audio CDs that you burn. This helps avoid having to adjust the volume as you play the CD.
I assume you don't need to to enable the playback option for Volume Leveling to burn a CD with Volume Leveling enabled.
